I'm currently using scripts as provided by http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General/RebuildReleaseProcess in my first attempt to create a CentOS 5.5 IA64 port. Learning much as I go along. ----- "Greg Snyder" <gregs at tallmaple.com> wrote: | Hi all, | | I'm trying to get a CentOS 5 port started for PowerPC.
