I guess you speak about kernel configs here. I never used genkernel but if |
16 |
it use the livecd config for generating ppl's kernel, ppl will really have |
17 |
ugly kernels :) |

I didn't read the readme yet but please if you create a livecd script, split |
24 |
it in many function/subfunction which we could reimplement somewhere in a arch |
25 |
specific file. And keep the opportunity to have simple loop or cloop file for |
26 |
livecd. hppa 64bit kernel can't use gcloop yet due to compiler problems. |

Ah yes, I just commited hppa specific files/changes to catalyst for stage |
29 |
building. I copied hppa.py from ia64.py but it seems that ia64.py is b0rked |
30 |
at line 18 : class arch_ia64(build.generic): |
31 |
should be builder.generic I think. |
