All the other m68k subarchs supposedly work with 2.4.27.

I'm the primary d-i developer and I have a quadra 650 and two 950s. Until one of those runs 2.6 (d-i requires a working keyboard to really be useful) or atari (aranym) gets fixed, I can't really do much. If someone wants to step up, I'd be happy to help out with builds and such. -- Stephen R. Marenka If life's not fun, you're not doing it right! <stephen@marenka.net>
