Aaron: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-sparc.xml?part=1&chap=10 suggests to use silo. Keywords - see http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-sparc.xml?part=3&chap=3 Keywords -* and -sparc mean that it has tested and the package doesn't work on sparc. ~sparc has been partly tested on sparc however doesn't have a reliable timeframe of use to be considered stable. Missing keywords indicates that it hasn't been tested on sparc platforms. Any improvements to documentation welcome. Rob - you have dropped keywords without an explaination in the ChangeLog. Can grub now work on non-x86 platforms. Why was amd64 dropped? 0.94-r2 still not yet tested on amd64. I'll do that tonight hopefully, although I have some bigger fish to fry at the moment. 0.95.20040823 still not tested on amd64 either - I'll do that tonight too. Sparc testers are more than welcome. I've only "dropped" keywords because they haven't been added yet - it would be daft to suggest something works when I don't know that it does. invalid, uNF |
