The miniiso was only containing boot support for r4k-ip22 which has been dropped. > Right. That means that we'll end up with no bootable options on mips > images.

The flavours we dropped were the only one with CD-ROM support. I guess however it still makes sense to continue producing the CD-ROM images, but without making them bootable. In the long term, we might want to add bootable support for the remaining flavours, but I have no idea if they support booting over a CD-ROM or USB image. Does someone known if we can do so on a Loongson 3 or Octeon machine? Aurelien -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
