For the installer, porting is a major effort, because architectural differences are greatest when dealing with the hardware at a low level such as during partitioning/booting. i386 is the _best_-understood. Then once you get something done, you also have to get it documented and translated. I think for woody+1 we could have other options available on an experimental basis, but that b-f would be our recommendation for those that d-i doesn't work for (which could be quite a few). -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
