Problem:
I've tried to install Debian Linux 3.0r1 PPC on my Power Mac G4=20
(QuickSilver 2002) from a set of 7 CD disks. The basic install from the=20=
first CD works fine but when base-config asks me to scan the other CD:s=20=
for more packages to install I get into difficulty. There is no CD=20
eject button on my mac model! There is of course an eject button on the=20=
Pioneer CD drive but it's completely hidden behind the front cover. The=20=
usual way to eject a CD from MacOS is to hit the eject button on the=20
keyboard. That doesn't work in Linux (at least not on my Swedish=20
keyboard). I've tried to use the eject command from another virtual=20
console but the eject command has not been installed as part of basic=20
install.
Suggestions:
1) Add support for the hardware eject button on the keyboard.
2) Add a software eject button in the base-config program.
3) Add the eject command to the the basic install and add a description=20=
in the installation manual of how to use this from another virtual=20
console.

True. The eject command will be available in the new installer.
Unfortunately, the installer you are using has not been updated
for a long time; the bug is a known one.
