d-i



i can't seem to find d-i list in the list of mailing lists on the
website, but regardless.

LET IT BE KNOWN:

that OldWorld PPC sub-arch will not be supported directly in the new
installer. 

i think this sucks.

1) there are plenty of still functional oldworld machines out there
2) i think it shows an utter lack of consideration for recycling, re-use
of older hardware and the environment
3) is totally irresponsible 
4) devfs is broken, crufty, and will be totally gone by 2.7 very likely, 
and using this will make oldworld installs impossible (at least from
d-i; it'll still be possible to install from woody floppies and
dist-upgrade).

go ahead and ban my IP or SMTPd, i'm seriously thinking of moving to a
*BSD now, and i'll make sure that anyone and everyone i know that uses
oldworlds *DON'T* use debian sarge stable.
