Chris, Thanks for the detailed response.

I'll try, but I don't know squat about hardware. The ethernet card works now and I used the Woody beta netinstall minimal. > I'm not sure where this is.

No. I've even found the official install instructions on various mirror sites -- it's on the side bar, but not on the purple nav bar. It assumes a pretty good familiarity with current Macintosh hardware. I haven't used a macintosh for more than 6 years so I needed more of a recipe -- many small things, like the role of OpenFirmware, are glossed over. > I've never heard of apt-get failing to install a needed dependency.

In the case I was thinking of, I couldn't get beyond the dependencies in Apache 2.0. I read the man pages, but I'll have to read up on the apt-get web page. > The nicest way, I think, to see what packages are available and choose them > for installation is aptitude.
