Hello Debian folks. Just a quick suggestion/complaint.
The install disks basically suggest creating a 5-10MB /boot partition, which has always worked for me in the past. I recently installed Debian on a NewWorld Power Mac from CD, which uses kernel-image-2.4.18-newpmac I then updates my /etc/apt/sources.list to testing, and tried 'apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.19-powerpc' The combination of the two kernel images do not, I repeat, do not fit in a 10MB /boot partition. Please consider changing the recommendation in the install dialogs, so other people won't be forced to.... boot from rescue CD mount /, /boot and /usr ( /usr is required to run ybin, not /target/usr/sbin/ybin, just /usr/sbin/ybin) cp /boot somwhere temporary unmount /boot cp the temporary stuff back to /boot edit /etc/fstab (commenting out the /boot line) edit /etc/yaboot.conf (you have to change the partition yaboot expects to find /boot on) ybin -v OK, it doesn't seem like all that much trouble, but for a relative newbie like me, it ofttimes seemed daunting. -Josh, who was SAP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
