CentOS - Mar 2005 - OK. time to make some contribution (centos4/ppc)

Hi,

Even now someone is actually installing (i see that from the ftp-server
logs) the centos-4/ppc beta-version from announced place. 

You people have to stand up and _TELL_ me what kind of hardware _IS_
working, so we would know more than already know - 43p works.

I can't believe that all those, who installs, does have 43p too?

Please? Something, so if it's actually working on something else than
already known 43p, we'd really like to hear about it. If it's not
working, we'd still ike to hear about it as one can't fix anything not
known to be broken.

Someone something, so eventually there would be release?

Hi Pasi,

We should point out that this is a ppc32 compile for older RS6000's and
non Apple Mac based 32bit ppc hardware. And is a derevative build.

The CentOS4/ppc rebuild is going to be fully RHEL4 compatible with the
ppc64/ppc shared code base ( which works on Apple Mac's, pSeries and
iSeries ). But does not boot on rs6k machines - unless we drop the ppc64
patch on yaboot. And untill we can demonstrate that the patch is no
longer required on ppc64 h/w - I'm keeping it in.
