My main concern was with powerpc hardware (I believe the mac subarch is relatively frequently used for desktop machines too). I apologize if my question was stupid. Oh, one other thing: Please do not cc me when replying to my mails sent to the list! I am (as you might recall) subscribed to the list and have (contrary to your possible interpretation) made no request for such copy! Also, I consider the Debian code of conduct valid until actually replaced! - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm
