Hello,

I have not posted here for few days.

Here's the state of the work. Feel free give your opinion.

I have make 6 versions: k-mib-ppc-beta-pre1 to pre6.
the 5 has not compressed fs (squashfs) because squashfs seems to
do kernel oops in G5. (Roland, could you check if this is the case in pre6?)
pre5 and pre6 have loop-aes, mount patched, parted (hfs+patch), debootstrap,
and minimal debian.

I have changed sin pre5 and pre6 the initrd system.
I was using ash-knoppix, but ash-knoppix has insmod for 2.4 kernel only, and 
there is a bug in it wich makes me impossible to detect correctly the running 
kernel to get the right module.
So I decided to use busybox. That will be perfect to make iso with two 
kernels, as soon as they will support 2.6 insmod.
If you add "busybox" as bootparam in pre6, you will have a busybox shell.

Now i am looking into the hardware detection system. Klaus Knopper uses a kind 
of kudzu-lite, hwsetup, but it does not compile with my linux headers 
actually.  I don't know if i port it, i use kudzu or i use discover. I think 
i would began with kudzu, that will be more easy, but slower.
The patched kudzu detects correctly apple studio, and my card. The problem
is nv driver needs Option "FlatPanel" but i can add a check in 
/proc/device-tree the type of the display.
Just when the hardware detect will basicly works, i will do iso with XFree, 
and probably xfce4 or directly kde.

Please post in the list the results of your tests.

regards,
