BS. Geert, Roman Z., Jes Sorensen are Amiga users. /me, Roman H., Andreas
Schwab are Atari users. We get along fine. I'm talking Linux/m68k here, in
case it wasn't obvious.

I'm aware of the connection between APUS and LinuxPPC for Amiga. My
question was: can you compile a kernel that will load and run on all of
the major PPC machines, namely CHRP/PREP, PowerMac, VME boards (sorry I
forgot you guys), and Amiga with PPC boards? Not configure and build a
single kernel for each of these, but configure and build one kernel for
all of them?

All I've got configured so far is a (PowerMac/PReP/CHRP) Machine Type
combination. Not what I asked for, as you will no doubt notice.
