Lost like in `we lost the accelerated X-server for CyberVision/64 on Amiga'
and in `we lost DaggeX'?

AFAIK it's based on the Amiga-Lilo I wrote for m68k ages ago. It's in the
m68kboot package, hosted on cvs.linux-m8k.org. Last time I tried, it was in a
bad shape, that's one of the reasons why I'm still using my old libc5 binary on
my Amiga :-)

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
