> Debian on PPC is almost unheard of. Being more public would be good :)
How can i/we do this? Working fulltime on this for nothing isn't always funny. Debian is sometimes slow, but we do it right(TM) :-) Debian is not -- as for an example linuxppc -- only a distribution for one architecture. Debian ist big, many packages and arch-types. If we fix a bug in one package for one arch we must often fix this bug also for the others archs (in a different way). Many maintainer means also many different meanings, but this is good for the best conclusion. Debian is really 'Open Source'. Debian/PowerPC is more or less me, but without the help from Joel Klecker Daniel Jacobowitz Konstantinos Margaritis Chris Lawrence Sven Luther Matt Porter and all the non-powerpc debian maintainer Debian/PowerPC were not at this level. Debian ist non-profit, but sometimes i wish that someone donates me an pbook (1) (for pcmcia testing), isdn cards, ethernet cards, more ram :-), cd-writer, more knowledge about OF (OF books), other machines then chrp or only a set of cd-r 's. I cannot test usb or bootx. I'ld like to have a better setup (boot-floppies) and better support for the X11 configuration. But this all needs time. What i like to have -- for all Subarchs -- is - one bootloader (quik, milo, plilo or what ever) - one fdisk with msdos + hfs(2) support - cd-rom autoboot support Regards, Hartmut (1) for a week or two -- Dipl.-Ing.
