I don't want to propose a change that will cause performance degradation for the majority of users (assuming that most openSUSE ppc users have IBM hardware and not Apple) and benefit only myself :) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I personally don't even have any Macs newer than a G4. G4's have a broad range of speeds from 350 to over 2ghz. And there are machines like the Pegasos PPC that Peter Czanik uses(I've forwarded this to him as well). How much work would it be to split the 32 from the 64 bit? We'd need the space to host it. I'd like to start doing more(though I can't program). What would we need to do? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
