I seem to recall you asked for the 2.2.14 source when the boot-floppies
build was up. I asked Andrew but I think I never got the source either
(it's on the Mac CVS but I could not bother to figure out where that was
and how to use it that particular week), and the Mac kernel I built seemed
fine for installs, plus theb 2.2.14 kernels had some issues so I didn't
follow up on that.
BTW there's another variable in the equation just to complete the
confusion: the Debian patches for 2.2.10 which contain part of the 2.2.10
Mac stuff plus FPU emulation at least.

No we're not, nor is any other arch, see my previous rant.
