No. The ppbus code is still far too much of a moving target. > The reason I ask is that I'm working on a boot floppy to support parallel > port zip drive installation, and I'm lazy and don't want to have to move > files around again every time I cvsup. If you are doing this, you should be using the standalone zip-on-parallel-port driver (ppa3), which will drop quite cleanly into -stable. It's reasonably easy to substitute kernels on the boot floppy once you manage to work out how it's built. > Plus, it would gain a wider > testing ground.
