Re: BFS for the power kernel
yay! schedtool!

Re: BFS for the power kernel
This code is actually a branch of kernel-power plus additional patches. Which is why the installed packages all mention "kernel-power" Not very useful for something that isn't a true replacement. Or...

Re: BFS for the power kernel

Re: BFS for the power kernel
I have not used multiboot.
The install process should be identical to the kernel-power install process. I did not modify that part of debian control files.
At least in theory. I will check :-)

I think both are caused by my web serving giving no MIME type for the deb files. My bad. Give me a few minutes hehe
Will post when I've verified as fixed.
