Great! One point i can strike off from my todo list. Thanks.

I try it now serveral weeks (not constantly), but all what i get is the
'composer' mode on powerpc (the one without the menus) or a window without
anything in it. It makes no different if i use the M4 version from mast
Hi,
sorry for the confuse layout on http://master.debian.org/~koptein
`log for successful build of x' means also a bad/failed package; this
comes from an bad return value of one of the autobuilder scripts (don't know
which one).
Thanks,

I think, we should it do as we have it done the last three years.

for an easy installation - what means: (new)
users have
not the choice to select for a base- , middle- or big-installing
procedure.
This is more important then a x11 installation (for boot-floppies).

ground. Is this the case for sparc: goahead!
BTW: if sparc uses also linux-2.1.x, you have no kernel images available.

' linus
tree. But anyway, i think start working on pre-linux-2.2 is a good thing.
Xfree needs some work for framebuffers, new alternativly x11 setup for
boot-floppies,
new config files for the kernel-package, ...
BTW: have we binaries for the bttv driver avai
debian.
Brian and the other arch maintainer with 2.1 kernels: what about to
have the linux-cvs tree (as a debian package) in experimental?? This
will help. Linux-2.1.125 is very near on linux-2.2 !!
I like also to have the powerpc-debian-cd available before we release.
Thanks,

more time for arch maintainers and testers).
Is this to hard?

Yes, but then you have both systems included in one kernel and such kernels
are big. And i don't know if its always possible (as for two or three years).
