Yeah, that's what I thought, what I suggested on debian-powerpc, and what was suggested in bug #242348. The upstream maintainer has inarticulate objections to it and wants it tested everywhere in the universe before he'll buy it. I think it may be easier just to reduce the extremely large size of the kernels we're using. Apparently the 2.6 packages in preparation have smaller kernels, or there's powerpc-small. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
