Re: Debian on an Old World G3 'wallstreet'

[Francois Taiani <f.taiani@computer.org>]

Hi Anthony,

I installed Sarge on a Wallstreet some while ago. I've put a list of the 
on-line resources I used, with some additional information here:

In particular, if I remember correctly, Christophe Barbe's howto for the 
TiBook III worked quite well for the Wallstreet.

Hope this helps!

Francois
