Hello to all you folks who know more than me. I used today's cvs The mirror passed the mirror check real good. I am using a ix86 machine to make a bootable sparc CD set. ARCH=sparc bootdir=/boot (I have nothing sparc-like in there, this is an ix86 machine) I am hoping that the archive has these sparc parts. I am hoping that I can make a sparc bootable CD on an ix86 machine.
Here is a logfile: Apt-get is updating his files ... Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... Adding the required directories to the binary CDs ...

Can a sparc bootable CD be made from an ix86 machine?
