Re: linuxppc install
Ooopps!
I can read "Debian GNU/Linux non-US packages" at the top of
README.non-US file. And all the references, install manuals, etc I could
actually find in the Web were locate @debian site. And there is a folder
named with the kernel version (i guess) that reads like "
dists/potato/main/disks-powerpc/2.2.23-2001-04-15".
I could start automatically the installer from the floppy disk, but the
installation stucks asking for a driver disk. It says this is driver
disk 1 of # from set "x". I need driver disk from set <blank>. It's not
an exactly reproduction of the warning message, but it gives a taste of
it: it knows that the disk i inserted belongs to a <named> set, but does
not know the set name it wants. And i tried every driver disk in the CD,
and they were all refused.
Again, I would be delighted to have linux runnning in this machine
(performa 6360) and appreciate any help.
An special thanks to Chris for his answer.
Many thanks in advance to anyone that provide me some
guideline/directions that helps me achieve my goal,
Luis
