Because of your big mouth that bogl is portable and it is working! And: it
doesn't! I told you all this in my first mail to you (~three months ago)!! 
And what happens: all my warnings and hints have you ignored.

for not supporting your arch yet -> so it isn't portable yet!!! It isn't 
generic - yet! 

You are a debian maintainer, you can get an account on every debian machine 
to work on it.

This is i386-centric. Not 'boot into', it is 'boot with it'. This is now
m68k, sparc, arm and powerpc centric.

I will, but the graphical-dbootstrap doesn't compile.
