Re: PPC64 Illegal Instruction



I understand your frustration, but I want you to know that I found a way
to use my PowerMac G5 in these last two days.

Basically I am using Debian Sid PPC64 with this extra repository:

http://repo.powerprogress.org/

Both Firefox and mpv are working.

I was even able to use wifi after manually compiling the package for
b43-fwcutter.

Regards
