Yes, in this way it should be possible. > (There is a kernel in the base set, right?) Yes, there is an kernel in the base, but this kernel is for a chrp machine. This means: it doesn't work on your machine. Powermac is not the only one powerpc machine type. In two or three days - this depends on linus and if linux-2.1.126 is then available - i'll upload the 2.1.12x source and possible three kernel images for our archive (masters Incoming). > What I'm thinking of is starting from MkLinux and using it to put debian > on another partition. These two are incompatible! MkLinux uses the old libc, debian/powerpc use the new libc.
