Hi Colin,

Thank you for taking an interest in Mondo Rescue!

ia64 is architectually different from amd64 in many ways, so
unfortunately it is not that straight forward. (I was given a used ia64
workstation by the upstream maintainer two years ago to enable me to
help to get things working. Unfortunately, I have not had enough time to
get this happening yet. :-( )

That said, the longer term goal is to support ia64, so I hope to
eventually be able to close this wishlist bug.

mindi-busybox is built for amd64:
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=mindi-busybox&searchon=names&suite=unstable&section=all

I am going to be away until 11 May from tomorrow btw and may be somewhat
unresponsive during this time.

Best regards,
Andree
