I've tried to run cooker on PPC. It's normally so seriously broken that it is utterly unusable. I don't have many PPC boxes so I run stable releases. Additionally I don't have tons of disk space on them to throw at cooker. I already have to maintain 8.2/PPC and 9.1/PPC on them for security update testing. Since only myself and Vincent are the only people who do PPC testing I set that as a priority over cooker. Regarding SPARC, I have several Ultra Sparcs but they're otherwise occupied with other operating systems. I might be willing to run a chroot under it for building Mandrake and switch to running Mandrake if we get a stable release, but I'm only really interested in doing that if we are going to have a "officially supported" release (meaning security updates). If we don't do that it's more work than it is worth to me. Especially given the fact that very few people use Sparcs for desktop machines and that is what most people see Mandrake as. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "What upsets me is not that you lied to me, but that from now on I can no longer believe you." -- Nietzsche
