I'd expect the sarge installer to just work, but it's also at archive now so who knows. The etch installer got broken when etch got renamed to etch-m68k. I was using the lenny installer (dailies) to installer etch-m68k, but the mirror choosing code seems to be broken last time I tried. My notes are at <http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/M68k>. Hmmmm. Looks like I did something to kill the daily buildds. I better go fix that. > Would appreciate any suggestions.
