Hi all!

First of all I want to thank Adrian Glaubitz for the fantastic job hedid. Debian now installs without major obstacles on this old iBook (Iused the powerpc image of 19.4.2020). The only thing that I found so faris that X does not work out of the box. My iBook G4 has an ATI MobilityRadeon 9550 card. I had to manually install firmware-amd-graphics, xorgand xserver-xorg-video-all to make it work. LXDE works like it should now.



Regards,
Jeroen
