I ended up booting off the debian-imac archive from sourceforge (another thankyou there for that); debian.imac.sourceforge.net with the boot argument 'video=ofonly' then using my 2.2r0 cd to complete a base install. Then upgraded to testing straight away. The debian-imac collection (2.2r3 from memory) worked fine; I never got around to trying the woody boot-floppies. Thanks for you help though. Btw, in my limited exploration I didn't find any howtos for booting from hard-disk (such as using woody boot-floppies from a mac partition) (apart from debian-imac). Does such a thing exist? The installation manual doesn't give much detail at all. Cheers, Mark. -- Mark Hepburn Engineering/Computer Science, University of Tasmania pgp public key ID: 91602C17
