you need to use bootX. I have partitioned my HD so: 200 Mb HFS for a small OS9 125 MB Swap 1.5 GB Root linux 3.6 GB Home linux The "problem" is that you need to use SID instead Potato, but if you have a decent internet connection is not a problem. go to http://www.dcs.qmul.ac.uk/~sb/First-Aid/index.html Seem to the author have some problem today. Try it tomorrow. In any case I have the configuration file for X and the International Keybord of a US wallstreet Apple.But is esay to change in a german or spanish or italian layout. you can find it in my server: http://ftp.maximumdebian.org/pub/misc/PowerMac/ I have write too something about PowerMac in my site, but is in Italian language. Is better that you refire to the FirtAid Documentation. > And second, I read a couple of times about installing linuxppc and > installing Debian on top of it.
