Installation Questions and Boot Disks?



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I'm wondering what's the best way to "assimilate" a non-Debian installed
system into a Debian one.

I assume that I need to install a base system (either MkLinux or "normal"
RedHat) and then get dpkg and dselect installed somehow.

Is anyone working on a native Debian installer for Power Macs? Or is that
waiting on a full "base" section?

I have noticed that the source for the RAM disk based RedHat installer is
available at <ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/linux-pmac/install-source/>,
perhaps that could be used as the basis for a Debian installer.

I don't have any experience with building boot disks, but I am willing to
help in whatever way I can.
