I was working on them. I'm waiting for a new kernel package, then I will
get around to uploading them.
As mentioned in some earlier messages, there are a few things that are going
to be different in potato:
1) The kernel and MILO no longer fit on a single 1.4M floppy. Therefore the
"rescue disk" won't actually be a rescue disk, but rather just a disk with a
kernel image and aboot on it, and ARC/AlphaBIOS users will require a
separate disk to hold MILO and linload.exe. The name "rescue disk" is
potentially confusing on all non-i386 architectures... oh well...
suggestions on how to best deal with this in the documentation/etc would be
greatly appreciated.
2) Since there are just way too many subarchitectures, and since it's now
possible to compile a generic kernel in 2.2, there will be only one kernel
and set of modules.
