I plan to, as soon as I have it all installed off the cds, I dont have any
of the ppc packages in an apt cache anywhere nearby, so will get iot once
the powerbook has an installation on it

well I was also kind of wondering, does the pismo have any dedicated
hardware for dvd decoding or anything in it, though I noticed playing said
dvd in macos, if I did anything else at all, even changing the volume, it
made the dvd lag and jump and skip, so maybve it was all being done on the
cpu.

well for a few days while doing some kernel code to see if I could get it
working I was using the debian boot floppies and such and going in off them
to try new kernels from quik, however it got to be a huge pain booting
through two seperate floppies every time just to set up a quik environment
again (ie had to do command option p r when it locks up on boot to get back
to debian floppy booting and such) so I got sick of the itme it was taken
for any hacking on the kernel, so went and got macos back on so I could boot
in fast to linux after command option p r

well I am thinking at least a copy of the three debian cds I have and the
apt cache of any updates will do nicely to use some space.
