I have a four(ish) year old ibook sitting on my desk. It was doing
nothing so I though 'let's give debian a whirl'.
I have it to a terminal prompt, can ssh out and things such as that, but
I am having a few difficulties, which I would appreciate some help with:

Hi Mark,
I'd suggest you get a Ubuntu Breezy/ppc install disc (or it's live
version if you just want to test it) from ubuntu.com and install that.
Ubuntu is more or less Debian preconfigured for desktop usage.
That should solve most, if not all, your issues.
Best regards,
Maxi

Hi all,
last night I upgraded to xorg 6.9.0.dfsg.1-2. First I had to do a

Starting X then freezes my PowerBook5,6 completely. No net, no

No such logs on the AP. It just shows me attached dhcp clients and websites
accessed. My iBook is not listed as an attached DHCP client.
What about the current source revisions/snapshots? Do they work any better?
Could you please post your current dmesg and the exact steps you performed

The Apple/Mac floppy disk drives were very different pieces of hardware
from PC floppy drives, even though they used the same physical media.
Superformat uses PC-specific hardware features. I'd be very surprised
