Bug#31450: boot-floppies 2.1.4 fails to build for m68k
Michael, first off, care to help with the documentation of the
Installation System? Cf
http://www.debian.org/~aph/boot-floppies/m68k/install.html . I need
the m68k stuff to be critiqued, corrected, and filled out. You can
send me text in ASCII or SGML (linuxdoc), I don't mind.

You can set whatever kernel you like in the top-level makefile. How
is this a bug?

Oh, that's bad.

Woah, we should find a way to not hard-code the kernel-headers entry.

Thanks. I'm not sure how we're coping with this problem of
architecture-dependant lists. I would suggest we use either cpp or m4
to auto-expand the list at build time based on the arch.

Interesting. I would think this would have been fixed prior to any
release...!

No clue!

What's the issue here? I believe these are indeed required to build.
