Yes, I'm willing to test anything on ppc I can test. But right now I've only
got an two old 4400/200s and an ibook. If got three 16mb ram modules for the
4400s so first I'll test 32mb and then I'll test 16mb. (Right now one has
48mb and the other zero.)
Right now I'm testing doing an install on a 120GB harddiscs on one big
partition. To my surprise yesterday quik managed to install on that disc on a
7gb / (root) partition, so I somehow expect quik to boot from a 120GB /
(root) partition as well. As soon as I know, I'll post the results here.
As my next step I will checkout the d-i sources and have a look a
yaboot-installer to see if I can use it as a starting point for a
quik-installer. But don't expect that to happen before friday...
reagards,
Holger
