error "cannot find kernel package". Prior to this i edited the repo
link to point to x86_64 repos. the i686 can be created with out
problems. is this possible?

Stop requiring yaboot on ppc64 since there isn't ppc64 yaboot.
ppc64 doesn't have a ppc64 yaboot so it's not in the ppc64-only trees; it
gets pulled onto boxes as the ppc32 version though. I'm tired of getting
bugged about it though

Make initrd mem patch for OLPC conditional on firmware revision
Make the olpc.fth patch for changing where the ramdisk gets loaded

Future features - GUI and Windows / OS X creator?
by Stewart Adam
Hi,
Are there any plans for adding a GUI to the livecd tools and/or
supporting Windows and OS X in future? I would be interested in helping
develop both features, but I would definetly need some help with the
Windows and OS X ports.

Issue with ps2 mouse and usb
by Mike Martin
Hi I have found that if I transfer my image to a USB stick I have no
mouse support (ps2)
This does not happen if I burn to CD
Any ideas what is happening here?
