i never said you had to use Gentoo. if you want to make another distro work on alpha, then you're free to review the work that's already been done in Gentoo to bootstrap yourself up. Matt is already taking on quite a lot in getting alpha up-to-snuff across the board ... asking him to assist with another distro is unfair to him. -mike * Mike Frysinger <vapier@xxxxxxxxxx> * 0xE837F581 - Unverified -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Personally I’ve let it go, the “Alpha” is low priority with me… more of a hobby so I wasn’t worried about it either way. Besides, we know how different all the Linux ditros are... totally incompatible. The fact that I could run Deb, Mandrake, LFS, etc. binaries was just a fluke. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Use GnuPG with Firefox : http://getfiregpg.org (Version: 0.7.10) iEYEARECAAYFAkujuUAACgkQ7BGkobHBh0Z6vQCgkuUk8qiS0g1BK6GhN6zpmtGA qOIAnAxDv2Bh7PC1cE2w0GjJO/dhzLuB =T2lw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-alpha" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
