I have just got confirmation that my ISO is capable of fully and sucessfully installing woody on a Tibook 17" so pretty much all current 2003 macs should work fine. Do read the README though, you MUST install base system via the basedebs tarball on my iso, and NOT via debian http since debian http lacks proper yaboot. this should be a great help to those wanting to install debian without all the hackish bullsh*t thats been required. enjoy.
