1 I've just released Quickstart 0.3. A lot of work has gone into this release in
2 the past 2 months since 0.2. Here's the short list:
3
4 * partitioning and bootloader code redesigned to allow for arch-specific code
5 for each
6 * x86/amd64 partitioning support rewritten using fdisk instead of sfdisk, since
7 sfdisk isn't in busybox
8 * sun disklabel and partitioning support implemented
9 * sun bootloader (silo) support added (not yet tested)
10 * hppa partitioning (uses x86 code) and bootloader (palo) support added and
11 tested
12 * many bugs fixed. this is essentially a permanent fixture in this list for
13 every release :P
14
15 In short, x86, amd64, and hppa are now officially supported by Quickstart.
16 Support for sparc will be coming soon.
