Do you need help on that ?
I'm willing to help in any way I can. In particular, testing.
Here, I am mainly thinking about RAID, LVM, and crypto installations in yaboot-installer, as upstream did some changes in yaboot about them.Doesn't it seem a bit too much to do for now ? I think that what everybody wants for now is /just/ a working yaboot.
RAID, LVM and crypto support are important. I think we all agree.But for the short-term, we need to get Joseph's ofpath rewrite and my ybin patches into a bootable installer "iso" so that they can be tested by a wider community. I say this because they will be critical to having a working Debian Squeeze installer for PowerPC.
Thanks! Rick
