RE: does anyone care about sparc CDs for sarge?
Hi,
can you please CC the necessary changes to the list at well ?
I'm downloading today's image right now, so I can make appropriate changes
here and then give it a try right away.
I just tried Herbert Kaminski's `workaround`
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=243122) - without
any luck, adding 'rw' to the kernel options doesn't work with an image 2-3
weeks old. (If it happens to work with
the current image, I'll let you know.)
