Well, Colin has been doing work on powerpc (including daily builds, updating it to current kernels, build fixes and fixing CD issues), that's on top of his previous powerpc work like maintaining yaboot-installer and quik-installer. There's also an offer from Daniel Dickinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to help in an assisting role, mostly on oldworld. Noone has replied to that mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> yet though. You may be overestimating the effort needed for the d-i powerpc port, aside from the mess surrounding booting linux on oldworld powerpc hardware that lacks a free bootloader, or that has to use floppies that don't seem to work reliably, most port-specific work is maintenance. You can see that in the set of open d-i powerpc bugs: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/[EMAIL PROTECTED];include=powerpc Especially when compared to all d-i bugs: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/[EMAIL PROTECTED];ordering=archfirst -- see shy jo
