I've made quite a few test runs using aranym and the daily images from [1], but installing etch-m68k with the issues listed in [2]. [1] http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/images-m68k/daily/ [2] http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/M68kTodo#issues These notes are for aranym, but should work for atari. Other archs shouldn't run into most if any of these bugs. You'll need a 2.6.18 or later kernel (or so) with working ethernet (NFETH isn't configured correctly in the standard debian kernels atm). Grab the daily nativehd image from [1]. You'll need to boot with suite=etch-m68k. I've been running with a preseed that fails at partman. At that point I go to the shell download and install the partman udebs (udpkg -i) and walk through the issues in [2]. After that, installation should complete normally. It's a bit of a pain, but it works. I've got patches submitted for all of the bugs, I'm hoping they'll all be uploaded as part of the lenny beta 1 d-i release. If you want anything more specific, please let me know. I'll try to make a test run tomorrow and see where things are at. Peace, Stephen -- Stephen R.
