Someone needs to come up with maintainable MILO images (which preferably means something that we can build from source, since MILO is based on a Linux kernel) and provide a way to integrate them into the debian-cd build process. > I have one of those alphas that is AlphaBIOS-only and most of the > Alphas we're seeing at our local install parties seems to be > AlphaBIOS-only. It would be nice if AlphaBIOS was supported. Really? According to the woody install manual (http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/alpha/ch-rescue-boot.html), the only three ARC-only system types are nautilus, ruffian, and xl -- these really make up such a large portion of the alphas you see? -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
