And you think the m68k is fast enough for watching MPEG movies? Can I have
one of those, too?

Didn't see much about i386 (except for ReiseFS) or sparc mentioned lately on
the linux-m68k list, did I miss something?

You are talking about 2.4, right? But even that one compiles out of the box
(but does not work well enough yet) for me. Are you sure you are using the
right source? If you are using the debian kernel-source packages, you should
install the m68k-patch package as well, and I can tell you building kernels
with them works just fine, I had no problems to build amiga, atari and mac
kernel images. What exactly is your problem here? I am sure Nick would like
to know if something is wrong with his kernel-patch packages, and me too.
If you do not use the debian source, you know that there is a difference
between linux-i386 and linux-m68k?
