Hi,
Saturday I tried to install Debian on my friend's brand new ibook.
I am experienced with debian on i368, but don't know about macs. Also,
I don't have any Debian CDs of the PPC build, so I tried a net install.
This all worked smoothly on a iMac. But I had some problems on the
new iBook dual USB:
I booted the installation system that I downloaded from sourgeforge [1]
using yaboot, everyting went fine, till I tried to install the system
over the net. It claimed
Unknown PHY ID (forgot the number).
It seems, debian does not recognise the ethernet adapter of the ibook. Is
there a updated installation system? Do you have any other ideas,
how to install debian on a new iBook?
Thanks in advance,
Matthias
