Re: What are the current available browser options for debian-ppc64?

[Jeroen Diederen <jjhdiederen@zonnet.nl>]

Hi Ken,

I have it in the MintPPC64 repo for you if you like. There is also 
arcticfox for you.
In /etc/apt/sources.list add the following line:
deb http://u58733p55594.web0093.zxcs-klant.nl/xeno74 ./

Do the following:
wget http://u58733p55594.web0093.zxcs-klant.nl/repo/key/public.gpg.key
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ./temp-keyring.gpg --import 
public.gpg.key
gpg --keyring ./temp-keyring.gpg --no-default-keyring --export -a > 
mintppc.asc
rm temp-keyring.gpg
sudo mv mintppc.asc /etc/apt/keyrings

Regards,
Jeroen
