I'm about to (within the next 2 weeks) attempt to install Linux on a friend's development iSeries for testing. I have a copy of the SuSE 7.1 distro reported to work but I'd much rather use Debian. I'm a hard-core Debian user and also in the NM queue working to become a developer. Based on the research I've done, it seems I can use the SuSE boot disks to jumpstart a debian-powerpc installation *by hand*. I feel confident I could take this route or even install SuSE and use debootstrap to get a working system. A Debian native installer would be ideal however. Can anyone report whether iSeries is supported by the debian installer yet? If not, I'll consider porting it provided I can get proper access to the host system. -joe -- Innovation Software Group, LLC - http://www.innovationsw.com/ Business Automation Specialists UNIX, Linux and Java Training
