Holger,

I would like to volunteer to help you with testing.  I have a beige G3
minitower (oldworld) and a PowerMac 6500 (oldworld) that I have
dedicated to Debian installer testing for the time being.  I can also
occasionally borrow a newworld machine for testing (as long as I don't
have to partition the disk).

I have facilities for downloading and burning ISO images of CDs and/or
floppy disks.

Will that help?
