By the way, the iso that I used for install was:
debian-31r3-powerpc-netinst.iso
thanks for your help, barry
Could you try to use the testing release? You can find an image at
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/etch_di_beta3/powerpc/iso-cd/
debian-testing-powerpc-netinst.iso
However, I don't know whether the current release ought to work on
powerpc,
maybe someone else knows a bit more about that!?
Other than that, I've never owned a Wallstreet and thus I don't
know whether
there are any known issues with a 2.4 kernel or the like.
HTH,
Michael
