I'm afraid I haven't tested installation for ages. The kernel in Hardy
and Intrepid is broken and my focus has been to fix that first. I am
getting there [0] but progress has been slow until now.

Realistically I'm not going to get the kernel sorted ready for 8.04.1,
so unless someone has a burning desire to put a bomb under all the
problems I'm happy to re-target 8.04.2. The best plan at the moment
would appear to be getting Hardy good enough on PS3 that it functions as
a stop-over for folks upgrading from Gutsy to Intrepid.
