Re: Installing (trying to) Sarge on my Power Macintosh 6500.

[Miguel Da Silva <cibonato@fcien.edu.uy>]

I did that, just a small instalation (less than 100MB) and after "apt-get dist-upgrade". Everything went fine and after reboot I can read the following message: "Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 powepc tty1"

That's fine :)

Thank you all.
