This started with some irritation with the cdrtools port and a bug in the HFS hybrid generation that was breaking PPC release CD generation. Switching these to depend on makefs in general speeds the release-building process and removes the number of dependencies involved, since makefs is built as part of base. > Actually, I was just interested in the 'bootimage=i386' part > of your change. I totally get why you're doing it :-) Ah, OK :) That just sets the El Torito system type to 0 (x86), which is what IA64 uses, as far as I can tell, and doesn't turn on any special magic like is done for the mac. I suppose while we're monkeying about with makefs, we could add an 'ia64' alias. -Nathan
