Please Help - Debian on iBook Install

[starlett <andrei.verovski@parks.lv>]

Hi,


I have an Apple iBook with FireWire (Summer 2000 model), and it seems I 
run into troube installing Debian.

1) Potato 2.2r2 CD#1 could not be used as startup - hangs at the 
beginning with strange video artifacts. Nothing helps.

2) I can install LinuxPPC (Red Hat v7 based) without complete 
reformatting my HD (I have 6 GB MacOS 9 partition and 4 GB unallocated). 
Is it possible to use LinuxPPC partitioning scheme later with Debian? 
LinuxPPC uses 32 MB HFS startup partition to load Linux kernel. I like 
this more rather creating non-editable bootstrap partition.


Any help would be apreciated.

Thanks in advance.
