Hi, I got a Powerbook G3 Lombard, and made a hack. I installed the bootloader from LinuxPPC, and booted the instalation, since I couldnt with the debian disks because powerbook doesnt have floppy. Instead of installing LinuxPPC, I opened a terminal and:
1) partitioned 2) Formatted 3) uncompressed a tar.gz file containing the base files, and then I modified fstab. 4) I donloaded and installed apt-get, and some dependencies. Wich kernel should I install? what is the right way of booting linux? is what I did correct? how do I activate de swap partition? how do I give a name to my machine, instead of the noname name? If I take the ramdisk stuff off the bootloader it wont boot correctly, actually it wont mount the root fs. what can I do about it? How can I know if the g3 cache is active?
