m68k port status update



I know ya'll have been just been waiting to hear about the m68k port!
;-)

I still haven't completed a full install from scratch, with no
work-arounds. However, I think all of the obstacles have been overcome.

kernels: if someone else hasn't gotten there first, I plan on looking
	at integrating 2.2 with linux-kernel-di and make sure the
	packaging is uniform between 2.2 and 2.4 m68k kernels. (I'd hate
	to mess with separate package lists.)

hwdetect: I need to look through hwdetect and see if it needs to be 2.2
	smarter or something.

subarchs: I now am building amiga images, but haven't tested any yet.
	Atari and the vme's will have to wait until they have
	kernel-udebs and atari has an atari-fdisk udeb.

bootloaders: Have to figure out how to package them, license issues, and
	such.


Daily images may be found at <http://marenka.net/~stephen/di/boot/>.

My base + d-i archive is at <http://marenka.net/~stephen/di/debian>.

Base + d-i daily iso images may be found at
<http://marenka.net/~stephen/di/cds>.

marenka.net is my home dsl, so it's not all that speedy.


These udebs will need to be uploaded to get all my current changes into
the archive.

base-installer_0.053 (bind mount workarounds)
cdrom-detect_0.47 (check for previously mounted cdrom, bind mount)
iso-scan_0.15 (bind mount)
libdebian-installer_0.20 (scsi cd in mapdevfs)
nobootloader_0.0.4 (2.2.x support)
partconf_0.21 (2.2.x support, loopback mount skip)
userdevfs_0.04 (large update)

choose-mirror_0.31 (proxy support)	is uploaded, but not built
