Re: powerpc packages?

well,
its a standard Theo Response. However, reading between the lines, isn't there a method to compile those packages for yourself? Honestly, it shouldn't be all that hard. If I had a PPC machine here, I would start with the 6.0 ppc packages and then start the compile process to make the 6.1. At least, this is what I would do IF I had a machine here to do it on.

As an aside to Theo, its been a few years since I last mentioned this, but perhaps its time you added (or allowed it to be added) some braille/speech support to the install media. THis comment is definitely off topic for this list, but I felt it needed to be said. Perhaps next time you are at the next Las Vegas convention, I might be able to show up and have a pleasant chat with you about that. Perhaps seeing the situation in person might inspire you to make OpenBSD live up to the "Open" part of the name.
