LMDE 6 ppc64

[Jeroen Diederen]

I am working on porting LMDE 6 (Faye) as complete as possible to ppc64. It could be useful for the newer generation PowerPC powered desktops, like the one recently announced.
It would also be beneficial to the powerpc laptop project, which intends to use an NXP T2080 e6500 CPU.
I have a working LMDE 6 now in QEMU, emulating IBM POWER 8, similar to the processors in the mentioned projects.

update: I completely borked the system after doing an installation of base-files LOL. This is a learning moment.

Can someone please provide the following file. Somehow I can’t reach the domain anymore with my ip address. The website host most likely blocked me after downloading this file. It would be nice lf someone can upload it to a place where I can download it from.
