I would love to try a sid daily build, but I don't know where they are.
The daily build that I tried was what I *thought* was the latest
netinst, from the debian-installer page:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-testing-powerpc-netinst.iso
Do you have an ETA on etch beta2?
I am happy to try anything. :)
Thanks,
Toni
