Re: PowerPC Problem

["Steve Langdon" <langdonsm@hotmail.com>]

OK I got slightly further , but now cant find a way of pointing the 
installer at the linux kernal. It just doesnt want to find it.

I've got it on my (mounted) hfs partition directly under the root directory, 
and under the debian/dists/woody..... etc structure recommended by the 
package.

Then I tried burning in onto a CD in different formats .... putting the 
files directly on the root, and then also with the required directory 
structure. still no luck!

The installer doesnt even seem to check... there's no clicking and whirring 
of the HD or CD Drive to indicate that files and directories might be being 
searched. The installer just comes straight back with 'Not found on this 
drive'


hmmmmmmm.
