Hello Adrian

thank you very much,


i tried several images til now,
and it sseems that the Powermac G4 CD-Drive is a bit old or that the Verbatim-CD are too shallow, and not being recognized;


Your Unofficial Image was out of 4 the only one that being bootable with
"ALT" Key at the Boot-Up; because i used a differnt CD Media for it.

but i found out that the other ones were being unbootable because apparently the CD Quality of the Blank Media is somehow not fully compatible with  the CD Drive


So, i could install your NetInstaller Unofficial SID Image,
but it would not load Yaboot at the reboot as was expected;

The Partitioning went fine; but did i miss something - did i need to do expert install?


Thank you again,

Richard

Hi Richard!

Please don't hijack discussions but open a new thread for that. Otherwise
the discussion becomes hard to follow in the mailing list archives.

if i install Wheezy on Powermac G4,
can i then update to Stretch?

You can update it to Sid. There is no Stretch for PowerPC.

To upgrade, just replace "wheezy" with "sid" in your /etc/apt/sources.list.

Or do i need to install Stretch from Netinstall to succeed?

No.

Where could i download such image?

Download "all files in zip" [1]. The ISO is contained in the ZIP file.
