nothing to be sorry for.. and welcome :) > Before I go digging up extra hardware please confirm - To build a PPC > only live cd, I just follow the instructions at > http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/Howto/ISO using a Debian PPC host? that is right, yes. note that, due to lack of time, nobody has yet investigated the proper things needed to make the medias bootable for non-i386/non-amd64. means, we just need to figure out from debian-cd[0] how the powerpc isos are made bootable. the rest of make-live is platform independent anyway. > The http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/Howto/ISO_%28multiarch%29 page > looks pretty intimidating... well, multi-arch is for people wanting to create an image containing different live-systems for different architectures on the very same medium, e.g. a cd with amd64, i386 and powerpc live system on it. that is quite tricky anyway and not supported by make-live for the moment, so don't be frightened by that. > I think I can work out how to add the few extra packages and scripts > I'll need once I get going. cool. i have a powerpc here too, so i could verify it, but i'm busy this week with fixing svn...
