Re: Proposed patch: ppcdetect -> archdetect
Sven,
I would like to test the chrp-rs6k image and use it in conjunction with di;
however, I need zImage (or zImage.inetd) for network install, and the
vmlinux image.
It is not clear to me what these .deb and .udeb files are. A readme file
would help.

Please notice that i have new kernel packages for prep, chrp and
chrp-rs6k at :
http://people.debian.org/~luther/powerpc/2.4.22
Altough nobody from the debian-boot people cared to test them, despite i
announced them some week ago or so.
They still are problematic with regard to modules, but i am currently
fixing that. If only kernel-package was not so braindead, i would
already have them uploaded.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
