Yes it does, but m68k is one of the arches that I have seen 0 (zero) test results from. So don't ask me if it actually installs a working system... I have also two times reminded people in the "m68k dropped for Etch thread" that the installer will need to be adapted if it needs to support a separate archive. Wouter (Yoe) answered to that that he did not think this would get any priority amongst the m68k people as they have too many other things on their mind currently. Personally I would find that sad, but of course it is entirely your choice as porters if you want to invest time in a working installer or not. > If there is anything missing please give me a shout and I will put in > a rush job.

We have so far never supported this and I'm not sure we'll want to as adding an extra target (and thus an extra initrd and kernel udebs and an extra kernel for the installed system) would push other important packages off CD1. Of course that does not mean you cannot file a wishlist BR for it and that we won't consider it. Cheers, FJP
