Hi, inspection of the ISOs is not needed any more, since we now know that your algorithm expects "powerpc" bootable ISOs, not those for "ppc64el". Nevertheless, as we are at it:

I think this is not fully CHRP compliant. Shrug. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
