installing debian on a powerbook 3400c
Hi there
This is my first try in Linux installation
I installed in a partition HFS all the files reported on
http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/inst/pmac
i also installed BootX (last version available).
I booted and everything run well, partitioning, etc etc.
I arrive to a dialog were debian installer asks: "You will either
boot Linux from a floppy disk, or you will have it from the hard disk
when your system is turned on."
I don't have floppy drive, instead I have a ZIP and a CD-ROM bays. I
want to boot it through BootX, where I will choose what kind of OS to
use.
When I choose "Make Linux Bootable directly from Hard Disk" and then
reboot the system, I fall consequently on BootX that, in turn, when I
choose linux restarts the installation process again.
What I need to do to start debian linux and start the configuration
of password and install packages.
Do I need to remove ramdisk.gz from the system folder? Uncheck kernel
option in BootX
Thanks.
All help will be grateful
Pedro
