The CD's just posted in the past few hours (may 23rd daily's) fair better 
during the partition, but still do not detect the Bootstrap partition with 
the yaboot installer.  Just let me know which CD's to test and I can give 
them a test for the next 36 hours, after that I have to make sure the machine 
is useable for another week of work.   I will have another powerbook on which 
I will be installing debian in the coming weeks so that will provide another 
test bed.

Post install:  I fought through an install with Beta-4 after hacking up every 
script that yabootconfig uses to find the programs correctly and was able to 
get debian up and going fairly nicely.  Was running it for the past week at 
work with no problems besides being utterly unable to build a 2.6 kernel 
which booted.  Alas, that's my fault not debian's.   

Thanks again for the help.
