I just changed the permit values to no. I just checked your link and that build is indeed broken on big endian. The only version not broken is the one I found on that mirror. Another thing about that Nold guy, he seems to be throwing on his own license to version 0.6.2? https://github.com/Nold360/mksdiso/blob/master/COPYRIGHT Can I proceed with version 0.6.2? Just want to make sure everything is in order and correct. I’ll host it on my own site and have that ftp as a second master since it’s soo slow.
