Depending on the time and day of course, the linuxppc-2.5 tree is generally left in a buildable state, at least for some target or another. IMHO, it is still easiest to NFS root a 2.5 box than to worry about IDE / SCSI being perfectly sane. That said, IDE / SCSI have been rather sane for a while now, so the chances are low of you kicking yourself for not having done a backup recently.. -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
