OK,

Thanks everyone for the hosting offers.  I had several offers to host, but 
little interest in using cooker, so perhaps it's a wasted effort anyway.

I forgot I don't even need that  much space, just kernels and stage1.  I 
put it on my web space:

http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~sbenedict/cooker-ppc/MandrakeLinux-cooker.ppc.iso
http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~sbenedict/cooker-ppc/MandrakeLinux-cooker.ppc.md5

My experience:

Couldn't get stage2 from a mirror site, even though it was there.  Local 
ftp worked fine.  So, I mirrored one of the mirrors locally yesterday and 
did an install tonight.


Issues:

old advertising graphics
package errors:

popt
rpm
perl-URPM
dosfstools
sawfish
libsoup3
libqtvision1
librep
rep-gtk
abiword
MHonArc
librep9
tcptraceroute
kvirc
sawfish-themes
gnome-tiles
sympa
kwintv
gnome-network

popt and rpm showed up each time it was time to install additional 
packages (dhcp setup, X setup etc.)

On boot, I dropped into maintenance mode, due to no devfsd. I also 
discovered the was no /etc/yaboot.conf, just the example one. There was no 
error related to setting up the bootloader during install.

I couldn't mount my bootstrap to grab my original one, as I was booting a 
different kernel than the installed one, so no modules. (shared /boot).

I have to believe the above issues are due to either the packages errors 
or a mismatch between the installer libs and the cooker system, as the 
installer stage1/stage2 are the same images as 9.1, with just edited text 
for 9.2.

Anyway, it's out there if anyone wants it.

Yes, I was planning to update my ibook to cooker. I just cannot decide if 
I should keep 9.1 around or not. I think I could also find a place to host 
the iso.

  I have an underused SDSL 1.5/1.5 connection at work with no monthly cap that 
should be able to handle a 70MB ISO, so I would also volunteer to host it.

Anyone cooking? Cooker install ISO?

2003-07-01 Thread Stew Benedict

Hi folks,

Haven't seen any cooker-ppc related traffic on here.  Is anyone running 
cooker, or interested in doing so?  Olivier and Christiaan who hang out on 
IRC have been busy building and submitting patches for PPC and I believe 
it's more or less up to date with x86.  If there is any interest, I could 
probably make up a mini install ISO for net/hd installs, based on the 9.1 
code.  Anyone have a place to host it?  It would be about 70MB or so.
