There are a couple of issues here:
a. My 712/100 no longer has a functioning PS/2 keyboard in 2.6
b. No Mozilla port for hppa exists. You can't run mozilla under
hppa.
I will work on fixing 'a' this weekend. The latter 'b' is much more
difficult, and even with Randolphs help with libffi debianization of
mozilla, we still don't have a running mozilla. I started some work on
this but got sidetracked.
The first will surely get fixed, because I want my 712/100 to work.
I'll see if I can get someone else to verify the problem.
c.
