Bug#160621: Problems with install CD in ppc distribution
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0r0 ppc
POWER-PC distribution
POWERMAC G4 TOWER
Cd installer doesn't recognize files in the CD itself. Moreover, if you
go to the second terminal and mount the cd in a directory like /mnt and
choose "select a mounted device" it doesn't install all the files
properly, it stops in the middle. The only way is to copy the CD1 to a
HFS partition.
Later, apt doesn't get all the files in the three CD-Rom's, for example
i make:
>apt-cdrom add,
with the three first cd-roms (the three cd-roms in the ftp server, I
don't know if there are more) and then, with this three sources, when I
run tasksel, I can't install Xwindows interface for example.
I think it's because apt looks in this path:
/dists/stable/....
but the path in the CD is
/dists/woody
You've forgotten to make the simbolic links in the first cd-rom !!!
It would be great to explain in the cd-rom the way to make Nvidia
drivers work, in a macintosh (almost all the new macintoshes have this
video cards) (or beg mercy to Nvidia to include them in the kernel
source) (or install them automatically)
For example, I have a GeForce2 and I can't start x.
You'are working great, continue, solve this problems to improve
Debian-Linux in a ppc.
I hink this problems appear too in PCs.
God bless Linux. Thanks a lot for your effort!!!!!!!!
