You have to use the new debian-installer to install sarge. Search the archives for that, e.g. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-sparc&m=108605054618580&w=2 Also, have a look at the debian page for debian-installer: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ and http://people.debian.org/~jbailey/d-i/sparc/daily Good luck, Martin
