Bug#383135: base-installer: Please support the ppc64 architecture

[Andreas Jochens <aj@andaco.de>]

Package: base-installer
Version: 1.64
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hello,

the attached patch adds support for the native ppc64 architecture
to base-installer by creating a 'kernel/ppc64.sh' script.

There is only one kernel flavour for the native ppc64 architecture.
Because of this, complicated selection or checking procedures are not
necessary and the script is very simple.

Regards
Andreas Jochens
