Sorry, your right. However may I have the audacity to say that the
mac-fdisk document referred to in the main install documentation
for debian powerpc (stable version) is not as complete as the one
at your site as your version clearly makes provisions for both
potato and woody. In any event I apologize for being a lazy

I guess the first step would be the read the damn manuals... :-;
