Hello from Brittany (France),
few words to tell you I succeed installing a Debian system on an
powermac G3 oldworld.
I followed Debian official documentation and the ppc list.
I couldn't boot using the miboot floppies.
I used BootX and Floppies (rescue.bin, driver-1.bin, driver-2.bin) found
in the woody archive.
As I was using the Debian official Cds for Sarge, the installer told me
it couldn't get
"file : /instmnt/dists/woody/Release"
so
I downloaded the file
basedebs.tar
put it in the mac side and get the system install from the hard drive.
I'm now very proud to read that Debian/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO
WARRANTY...
and keep on my technical trip in order to get that machine working
following my needs...
Claude
PS : I already run Debian Sarge on a G4 AGP
