Re: Call for testers: new yaboot package release
Hi all,
I tested this new yaboot in my Squeeze partition on my PowerBook G3
Pismo. I installed it without problems and I issued a ybin -v. I
rebooted and yaboot 1.3.16 smiled at me. I am back in my Squeeze
partition, no problems!!
If you need more info, let me know.
Regards,
Jeroen
