debian live installer

["Jeroen Diederen" <jjhdiederen@zonnet.nl>]

Hi all,

For some time now I am looking at the debian-live mailing list and I can
see that there is very little support for us PPC users left. Also for
some time no iso images are produced for this arch anymore. I don't
really care about the latter as we can make our own live images with
live-buld or customise the ones which are still available in the debian
live archive
(http://live.debian.net/archive/images/6.0_alpha2/powerpc/iso/)

Now comes my problem. Debian live installer does not work on PPC for a
long time. I have asked a few times in the debian-live mailing list if
someone (Daniel Baumann ?) could do something about it. Well, basically
I was told that PPC is a dying architecture and that there was no time
to work on this port. If I knew what to do I would start working on it
myself, but I lack the technical knowledge for this. I know that there
are still people working for this arch, so therefore I ask you guys here
if there are volunteers to look at the Debian live installer within
Debian live. It would be great to have such a feature for customised
Debian installations.

For people who do not know what I mean. In a liveCD of Ubuntu for PPC
there is the possibility to install the environment what you see
(usually with a clickable link on the desktop). This can also be
included for x86 Debian live iso's. Unfortunately this is not working
for PPC.

Hoping to hear from you guys soon...

Regards,
