I'm about to (within the next 2 weeks) attempt to install Linux on a
friend's development iSeries for testing. I have a copy of the SuSE 7.1
distro reported to work but I'd much rather use Debian. I'm a hard-core
Debian user and also in the NM queue working to become a developer.
Based on the research I've done, it seems I can use the SuSE boot disks
to jumpstart a debian-powerpc installation *by hand*. I feel confident
I could take this route or even install SuSE and use debootstrap to get
a working system.
A Debian native installer would be ideal however.
Can anyone report whether iSeries is supported by the debian installer
yet?
If not, I'll consider porting it provided I can get proper access to the
host system.
