I haev just added a wiki page on
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/GUIPowerPCTesting that details
how the G-I should be tested for PowerPC architecture.
Tested on PowerBook G4 15" 1.67 GHz (PowerBook5,6)
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 (Chipset Model: ATY,RV360M11)
Booting with no option: the graphical installer starts OK, but the
trackpad does not work (the keyboard does though).
Booting with "install video=ofonly": the boot process seems to enter
a loop trying to start the installer (can't tell what happens
exactly, the messages are scrolling too fast). Tried to switch VTs,
but the machine froze.
Booting with "install DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt" yields the old text-based
installer.
Hope this helps somehow. If there is interest, next week I might be
able to test the mini.iso on a 7600/200 and a 9600/350.
