Re: Installing Debian on a PowerMac G5

[Alexandre Bencz <alebencz@gmail.com>]

I got the same problem...
So, I just used a more old image, like this one: 
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/2019-04-11/
After install, I just added the experimental repository and did a apt 
update && apt upgrade!
