Yes! Hamm runs just fine here on stinkpad 560. Also have it on a 760L.
All of this pre-dates hamm installation disks though. Brought them up on
bo disks, and made the libc6 conversions. I don't do dselect either but
rather dpkg -i for each package.
IMHO you should work in the goodies one at a time. X took a lot of work.
APMD would not run w/o a patch that I found, and you probably need to
exclude floppy from the kernel config. (Do insmod floppy to use it.) My
apmd still tanks when I load "serial.o".
