I'd like to take this, if nobody else gets to it first (and, if anyone else is interested, I'm sure this would be a package that could benefit from a team ...). I use it from time to time for debian-installer testing, and expect to do so much more with the new PowerMac emulation. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
