I just installed a minimal Suse on 7044-170. The problems with
special keys in Yast were around the dialog box. It
depends where the cursor is located how it works.
On edit text, the Control key doesn't work as on check box.
The same happened with F10 (the key to follow the yellow way :-)
so, the source media wasn't taking the settings as well it
should.
The next step will be make a FAT partition to copy yaboot as
the same as Tom answered sometime ago. And finally
install Debian as you recomended.
Thanks.
