Well there are but those seem to be the best. If you are installing on an
iMac then there might be some other instructions. Look around the list
archives.

Click-hold on the link and choose save link as. then choose to download it as
source and download it that way. Netscape on the mac doesn't like to
recognize gz files. Or to ensure it will work get fetch to download it using
ftp.

Well i am getting ready to install debian but i have homework right now that
depends on be being able to use my linux partition so I have to wait for now.
If you want a distro on cd there is LinuxPPC (www.linuxppc.com), YellowDog
(www.yellowdoglinux.com), and soon there will be SuSE (www.suse.com)

"O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride."
