Ach, yeah, I don't have a slink install laying around. >Ok, did you ever published new bootdisks since your post ? "published" ? I don't think so... I think we're ready to build a new set for testing at least. I don't know if we want to update the kernel to 2.2.11 or not -- I would assume so but I don't that that kernels in the archive yet. I'll ask about that on the debian-release list. You might wanna be on that list, to get the skinny our release planning. >I'm in the middle of updating my debian mirror.

I'm stuck with my 26400 connection and it's very painful. >btw, is there a list of packages that will be updated in 2.1.r3 ? Yes, kinda, it's all from proposed-updates. We might need to port some stuff from there if it's not already ported.

I'm in the middle of updating my debian mirror. Mine is really out of date (I need to download about 1GB of binary packages & sources !). I will then try to build bootdisks & kernel next week if you want. btw, is there a list of packages that will be updated in 2.1.r3 ?

I am sure he would be willing to help out :)

Is it safe to build it on a potato system? I would guess not *sigh* It's very difficult for me to build a new boot-floppies since my link right now is so slow (28.8) and I'd need to reinstall slink I think. If anyone else wants to step forward, that would be great, otherwise, I'll make the attempt in a week or so. -- .Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.onShore.com/>
offline for a month
Hello Adam, I'm sorry but my modem seems to be dead ;-( I cannot connect from my home anymore, therefore I'm not be able to work on boot floppies now (all I can do is just reading my emails from my office). Moreover I will be on holidays tomorrow evening and will be offline for one month or so. Feel free to upload a slink release of bootdisks for sparc if you need to. BTW, it could be wise to use 2.2.9 kernel from potato, but it requires to be recompiled first with the following features enabled: - iso9660 (not in module ;) - rarp, bootp - nfsroot for sparc32 at least (I guess nfsroot is not required/wanted for sparc64) - PCI support disabled for sparc32 (kbd conflicts between PS/2 & Sun styles otherwise) Regards. -- Eric Delaunay | "La guerre justifie l'existence des militaires.
