newbie[live-cd]

[__alejo duque <alejo@cohete.net>]

hi list, 1rst post here..glup! ahemm..

Needing help here for getting through with a linux install on my 
tibook 500mhz, the disk partition has already been done, a debian 
hard drive space of 8gig waiting for it. [havent got yet to put my 
hands on mac fdisk.

I have d/l'd a gentoo-ppc live cd but it gives a kernel panic all the 
times just after checking all the hardware components, freeing unused 
kernel memory and using cloop.o then:


insmod: init_module:cloop: invalid argument
mount: Mounting/dev/cloop on /mnt/live/iso failed
cp wont work
no such device
no such file


kernel panic


no matter if i try to boot it live or live-safe i get the same list 
of errors, yesterday i tried a new g4 12" and the same thing happened 
i guess it cant be the cd, since i see the penguin up there and the 
kernel is loaded, i'm courious if one could use the contents of the 
cd to do the install on that partition. so far i havent found clues 
on how to follow from the cd to the hd, meaning that i want to go 
straigh to the mac fdisk inside the cd, create the linux partitions 
and install from there...if that is possible.

sorry for such a naive question but i hope someone can give me a hand 
perhaps off list or with any url that might be there and i havent yet 
found.

thnkx k
