Hi Simon,

Can you give a blow-by-blow installation procedure for installing debian
on oldworld Macs without BootX?  I've done it for woody with BootX -- I
haven't figured out how to do woody without BootX.  Unfortunately, sarge
has completely eluded me so far -- with or without BootX.

Thanks!

Rick
