Yesterday I tried:
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/powerpc/debian-testing-powerpc-netinst.iso
Oct 23 and Oct 22.
both failed :(
both of them with the same problem:
It all began great (install64 video=ofonly), but when
installing the base sistem it give an error. The
error is about initrd-tools. The system can't
authenticate that package?
(WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages
will be installed!)
What kind of problem is that? What can i do?
Anyone knows about an image that works?
The installing problem:
The G5 is not mine. The owner is a friend of mine,
that lives in another city. Yesterday I went to that
city, tried to install, failed, and return to my own
city.
I'll back to that city to a second try nextweek, maybe
the weekend. So, i need a working image. I can't be
traveling until it is fullly installed. I have no time
to test new images. I need a working image.
And my friend is a little bit disapointed about linux,
so, this time it have to be a very good impresion.
Thanks.
