I did it on a Tibook 2 days ago, and my Debian runs just fine at the moment (I made a bootable CD 1 of Woody using my local mirror -- boot-floppies 3.0.13). *But* the boot-floppies are quite broken : - it will hang up if you configure your keyboard, leave it as it is for the installation, then reconfigure it later (could be my fault -- bad choice ?) ; - the installer mounts ext2 partitions with type usbdevfs, you'll have to remount them manually before continuing ; - it refuses to activate a swap partition, but this one could be my fault (bad type on this very partition ?) ; - there are a bunch of warnings printed out each time you do something, but it seems to be harmless ; - you'll have to write a yaboot.conf by hand, then run mkofboot and ybin (chroot to /target, then mount /proc, run mkofboot and ybin). After that, it's like any other Debian installation, it runs just fine once rebooted. So, uhm, actually for a clueless user it's impossible. I'm going to file some bugs on the boot-floppies package. This list was of a great help while installing/configuring the Tibook, thanks to all the contributors. -- JB.
