I know this. It was hyperbole for the argument that public test machines have to be available for secondary arches when, in fact, public test machines aren't available for any arch. Apparently I was being too subtle. But your suggestion is quite good for anyone having problems with that specific issue. > You may also be able to test ppc or ppc64 that way, last I checked, I wasn't > able to get Fedora PPC to work in QEMU, but hopefully that has been fixed > since. QEMU emulates a PREP machine IIRC. Fedora doesn't support PREP machines. There are other options, such as the ppc970 system-sim, that are available for download but they come with some interesting issues of their own. josh -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
