Debian-installer-version: sarge powerpc tcl.1 9 June 2004
uname -a: Linux Homer 2.4.25-powerpc #1 mer avr 14 15:38:38 CEST 2004
ppc GNU/Linux

Date: 18 July 2004 circa 5pm BST

Method: Installed BootX 1.2.2 from http://penguinppc.org/projects/bootx/ 
copied initrd.gz and vmlinuz from d-i tc1 CD to "Linux Kernels" in the
MacOS System Folder
Configured Bootx to boot from the RamDisk (initrd.gz in the System
Folder) and hey presto the sarge installer appeared ;) (I tried the
2.6.7 kernel but the G3 doesn't have USB - kernel panic)

	Comments/Problems:

	It all worked pretty much "out of the box" - thanks for a very
	smooth installer ;)

	I had to use modconf to load dma_sound and sound_core modules
	but no real problem.

	I'm having a problem getting better resolution than 800X600 -
	I'd prefer 1024X768

	I need to add some memory given that I'm trying to run kde and
	OOo ;)

	I will probably put up a Beige G3 howto page somewhere but would
	be happy to contribute to the installation manual, if required.

	So thanks again to all you developers and maintainers for your
	excellent work! It is the first time I've had Debian on this G3
	;)

	Regards

	Clive

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
