Re: PowerPC sid installation
Hi Richard,
Don’t be confused by the name NETINST. It means that, in order to keep the .iso image as small as possible, the installer is prepared to get most of its Debian packages from the repository mirrors on the network.
You still do it the normal way — burn the .iso image to a CD and boot the CD in whatever way you are familiar with. There will be a question or two during the install process about which repository mirror you want to access, but it’s otherwise normal.
Hope that helps!
Rick
