Bascially I agree with you. If woody would not be in a imminent freeze I would wholehartly agree. But being around some time I noticed that it seems not easy to get "general bootable" milos. Often I read statments like "take the milo from rh xx" becaus the latest ones don't work. Since e.g. the ruffian milo got a binary patch (!) from Jay to boot on all machines I doubt that we can get them quickly to build and run on all machines. At least SuSEs milos are well tested and "approved" (by users, not some organisation). Since I don't use milo (anymore) please object if I am mistaken here. Thats why I second the idea to keep SuSEs milos for woody. Next step would be of course to build them ourselves. How was this done for potato ? Greetings Helge -- Helge Kreutzmann, Dipl.-Phys.
