Making the associated installer changes shouldn't be a big deal, but I suggest you ask the Xubuntu and Lubuntu communities about this since a good proportion of powerpc users are there. > * non-smp (linux-image-powerpc) > * smp (linux-image-powerpc-smp) > * smp-64 (linux-image-powerpc64-smp) It's not clear to me whether it would make more sense to drop -powerpc or -powerpc-smp. My memory is that -powerpc-smp was significantly less used and would be a better candidate for removal. Do you have notes on which hardware is covered by -powerpc-smp that can't use -powerpc64-smp? -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
