Hi,
I just wrote to debian-users because I need to move a whole debian box
from a powerpc iMac to an intel pc. The problem is that there seems to
be platform specific files in use and that means that simply
reinstalling packages and copying /etc will not be enough.
I write here because I th
Hi,
Is snd-aoa already being shipped with Debian kernel images?
If not, could somebody tell me what the appropriate procedure is to build the
powerpc64 flavor? Do I have to patch the kernel or is it enough to download
2.6.18 and do a make-kpkg?
Thanks, Eduardo.
