Nicholai, are you going to import boothack into the repository as well? And what about other stuff (LinuxPPC installer, ...) ?

Would be nice to get a few Megs of space on the CD and have my changes integrated in the the 'real' installer. Ken. |

Nothing prevents you from continuing to improve that installer but it will be harder and harder with every new release. /Nicholai |

I just thought that the gfx based installer was a completely different source tree. That's why I questioned the need to u/l the old installer to the CVS (but I trust you to know a lot more than me when it comes to the installer so maybe I should just keep quiet ;-).

I just had a quick look at the install ramdisk for the Linux 2000 CD on ftp.linuxppc.org and was suprised to see afdisk and XF86Config.APUS. A grep of the lot showed a few more APUS mentions. Ken. |

The geekgadgets environment works just fine for me. But once you have the crosscompiler, life becomes much simpler.

Another thing that might be handy in CVS is the web site. I'm planning to change things to use a template (probably using PHP) so that the pages are easy to set up and everything stays consistent.

I'll put up the current 1999 installer, - I ordered the 2000 CD a couple of days ago so I'll have another one soon/eventually depending on whats needed. Do you want two installers on sourceforge ?
