Bug#413788: Daily Etch build fails to install on iMac G5 - Ethernet not detected

[Mike Hore <mike_hore@aapt.net.au>]

Hi all,

I downloaded the March 9 daily build, (the server was reasonably fast 
this time), and it all works!  The sungem driver is definitely present.

So whatever happened before, it's OK now, so this bug can be closed.

(I'm still investigating Gentoo, but if I get into too much strife, I'll 
come back to Debian.)

Cheers,  Mike.
