Yeah, well, I am used to continually losing this battle. Although embedded PowerPC is likely to have _lots_ more installations than the desktop, we'll just survive on the pieces left behind. A pretty running desktop gets lots of press coverage while code that acutally runs the infrastructure of the world is unknown (I guess we are doing a great job, then :-). I am just happy that I can finally build a kernel for the MPC8xx that doesn't require I configure an ADB keyboard. I also like building the same sources for all of my Mac workstations and servers as well. I would also like to see us spend a little more time trying to stabilize 2.4 instead of trying to solve elaborate configuration and boot schemes. That is what 2.5 is for. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
