Re: Multi-arch netinst getting too big



Hi Steve

As long as there is standalone powerpc netinst disc, I can't see a problem. Although a multi-arch netinst disc is more convenient, the absence of powerpc is only a minor inconvenience.

For the record, we maintain 5 G4 servers, one of which was installed with woody and all have been through a number of upgrades. We would only really be affected if support for powerpc were to cease.

Thanks to you and the developers for all your excellent work.

Regards

Clive

Yup. There will still be a standalone powerpc netinst, but we may have
to drop it from the multi-arch disk. I'm hoping to be able to find
savings elsewhere, but it's tight.
