I understand. In regards to a bootstrap iso, probably nothing specific |
| 19 |
to Old World machines, since they can't directly boot off the CD, |
| 20 |
however I hope to have a new .iso out which has a kernel that directly |
| 21 |
supports Old World machines with SCSI. In the meantime yes I will put a |
| 22 |
downloadable kernel which would work with the current shipping .iso's |
| 23 |
for Old World users, and have a README-oldworld added to the mirrors as |
| 24 |
well as an update on the ppc.gentoo.org webpage. |
