I like this idea but i don't have a lot of spare machines handy to try d-i on these days. I can try to dig up a power supply for an idle older ppc laptop i've got floating around, but i don't know whether i'll be able to find it. sorry to not be more help. it'd be great to be able to drop yaboot. --dkg _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
