It came about because I was building new kernel packages for sound support
on my powerbook. The default configuration of the benh source tree has
CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES=y, which seemed natural until I went back and read
through everything I could find and came across the warning right off of
the ppc port mainpage on the debian site. the keymap issue is fixed. =)
I'm wondering where I can find a copy of the kernel .config file that was
used to generate the generic 2.4 kernel shipping with the woody install
media? Is it archived somewhere publically accessible? the default benh
config hangs setting the system clock from the hardware clock and I'd like
to compare it to a config that is known to work.
