I have tried 'apt-get install manpages'
apt told me that everything is installed, but 'man ls' 
still refuses to work.

After this i tried to make a reinstallation of 'potato'

The reinstallations ended with 3 possibilities:

1. Install to boot from HD
2. Boot from Floppy
3. reboot

I chosed 3 cause 
1. does not work.
2. needs a boot floppy that ( all i found in the manual has to be written by
rawrite ( a MSDos tool was all i found, and I still haven't any clue how to
boot a beige Mac from a floppy. )
3. works AFAIK for me cause i want to use BOOTX 

But rebooting jumps to a install script that runs 'passwd root' in an endless
loop.
  

What the hell is wrong ?

I installed Suse Linux i86 on more than 4 different PCs (2 Laptops).
I installed muLINUX on two different PCs (Laptops)
I installed AIX on different PowerPCs
I installed BSD on two different Amigas
I insatalled Suse Linux PPC on my beige Mac

But this ðæmmeð Debian Linux is driving me insane !
