Hi Robert,
I'd love to test it. And I have PPC hardware (PowerPC Macs) to test
it on. But I'm not a developer. What can I do to help?
Basically, you'll need to get d-i source code and grub-installer
source code. Build both (the last with the applied patch provided by
Robert) and add it in localudebs before build the mini.iso. Burn it on
a CD and test.
Thanks. But as I said, I'm not a developer (for lack of time -- I
have a day job, and I'd like to keep it!) What I can do is test things.
If someone who understands Otavio's description of the task is
willing to make an .iso that I can burn to a CD, I'll be happy to
test it and provide detailed reports on my success or failures.
I will build you a netboot image, which include this patched version, this way
you can test it. I do believe this will include a mini-iso kind of thing.
