This one should do that. parted with hfs and debootstrap are installed.

You should go in a root shell; just run "source /KNOPPIX/root/.profile" to set
the PATH correctly, and "dpkg-reconfigure console-data" to set the keyboard
correctly.
You can test with pre6, but it seems squashfs do a kernel oops on G5. pre5
works on already one G5.
There is a mailing list about this project. You can send there your opinion
about your tests. See there:

debootstrap seems to be the simpliest way, as soon as you are in a LAN. I like
the idea to make a liveCD with debian-installer, like in this project:

You're welcome in the list above. It's a kind of knoppix project with ppc
port.
