Hi Matt,

I just stumbled on your posting when I was searching for some other  
IPv6 stuff in pursuit or IPv6 day actvivities.

See my comments after quote...

Thanks for doing this.  I know it's been a long time, but I wonder if  
your work has found it into the SID D-I yet?

Also, the web page you mention ( http://wiki.debian.org/MattPalmer/ 
IPv6 ) doesn't seem to exist.

I'd love to help with testing.  Can you make a powerpc installer?   
Most of my test machines are old Macs.

Enjoy!
