Potato Install problems on PowerMac
Hi all,
I'm new to Debian, but familiar with Linux.
I run a couple of PowerMacs with LinuxPPC and now I tried to install a
potato snapshot on one of these machines.
The preparation I did are as follows:
Have a booting LinuxPPC installation, prepared a 1GB partiton with
mke2fs. Mounted the partition and did a tar xzpf base2_2.tgz -C
/mnt/target which reflects my 1GB partition.
Made the changes as told on the different how to's. Booted into the
debian and was prompted to enter the runlevel.
As told I typed 'S' and the I got a prompt sh2.02#
Typed 'dselect' to configure the system, this is the output:
---------

-----------
Now I don't know how to get further. As it seems to I can't install or
upgrade anything, it always complaines that libc6 isn't configured.
Having a look at the command /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst:
/usr/sbin/update-rc.d: No such file or directory
gives me the impression that something lacks or is not configured right.
Typing the line above by hand I get a INIT 2.76 and afterwards the prompt.
Any help would be great
Thanks
Andreas
