Debian Installer on PowerPC
Please excuse my ignorance, but someone said to me "nobody ever runs
anything but the MacOS on a Macintosh." If this is so, then what
machines do the PowerPC Debian distributions run on? Is it possible to
load up the PowerPC bootable CD image in one of those colourful iMacs
and install?
The software manual from IBM says it's a 32/64-bit machine. I'm
thinking of buying an iMac, 333MHz PowerPC G3 machine. Is it 32 or
64-bit?
Where is the documentation for PowerPC architectures, in terms of how
the system boots and such? I have the software manual from IBM, but it
doesn't detail anything about the BIOS or getting the machine
bootstrapped. I'd like to refer to this while studying the source code
for the PowerPC architecture-specific parts. Also, if you're a ppc
hacker, please let me know of any useful books on ppc assembly language
programming you've used.
Many Thanks,
James
