Ok thanks to everybody for answerings, I'd like now to respond to Sven : > Where would you like to install it ?
On a scsi drive, this is not a problem in istself (worked for installing Woody)... > What kernel are you running on it anyway ? How to know it ? Could it be the file ''pool/main/P/patch_2.5.4-11_powerpc.deb'' situated in the CD (Woody 3.0r2) ? (Sorry I'm still a beginner and I only know basic installation of GNU/linux and a few UNIX...). Is it possible to install, in principle, for example a 2.6x.. package on a 2.4x.. kernel (not talking about the fact it is possible IN THIS CASE, but in general...anyway, if you know if it is possible IN THIS case, why not say...).
