It seems there are still no boot-floppies for arm, and apparently nobody is helping Adam either.. at this rate we simply won't release arm for potato!

We hope and believe they are adequate for the first test cycle. See my email from before. >Where's m68k 2.2.13? Or is 2.2.12 okay for m68k? I believe m68k does need 2.2.13, but I'm not totally sure. Hopefully the m68k porter will have a version up soon. Unfortunately, building on m68k is a bit more of a manual process than on most other arches. >And will there be arm boot floppies? I.e. are we not going to release arm >after all, or maybe we can release without boot floppies?? That's a good question. I myself have pestered the arm list with little to no results. I believe that ARM is not yet release quality -- maybe they can prove me wrong, I don't know. I wish I could answer this question but I don't have ARM, don't know anyone that has arm, and can only testify on my experiences and my guesses.
