THANK YOU ALL, DEBIAN/GNU/LINUX DEVELOPERS OF THE WORLD!!! I won't be able to find the right words to express that. I'm a new Debian PowerPC home user. I installed 2.2r4 on a PowerMac 8500/180MP and everything is just working great! I've got some UNIX user experience, but have never administrated a system. I'm just amazed that everything works so smoothly. Apache, SSH, DNS and other services were installed, and just worked right out of the box, no big config issues, no reboot. Today I did my first kernel compile to enable SMP, replaced the kernel on the HFS partition, rebooted, and there you go:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ more /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 cpu : 604e clock : 180MHz revision : 2.2 bogomips : 359.30 processor : 1 cpu : 604e clock : 180MHz revision : 2.2 bogomips : 359.30 zero pages : total 0 (0Kb) current: 0 (0Kb) hits: 0/371 (0%) machine : Power Macintosh motherboard : AAPL,8500 MacRISC L2 cache : 256K unified memory : 256MB pmac-generation : OldWorld The only thing I could not yet figure out is how to change the screen resolution on my AppleVision 17" monitor. My XF86Config files looks OK, but fbset seems to know only about "640x480-66". If I can't fix that on my own, I guess I'll drop a note here to get some help. Cheers Christian
