Re: Problem installing Debian PowerPC Jessie on PowerMac G5 7,3 PCI-X
Hey Rick,
Quick question, how do you manually enter repositories at
installation? For me, it always defaults to selecting a preexisting,
non-functional mirror off a list, and I never see any option to enter
anything manually, like it does by default in the ppc64 installations.
Thanks,
Noah
