First of all be patient and thnk in advance :) I'm still trying to install a Debian Potato 2.2 on a 5500/275/64 with a PPC603ev and eventually I succeed ;) Nevertheless I'm having some troubles with the step of partitioning, 'cause I'm asked numbers of length/base and I'm not exactly a technician :)
I've found a tutorial on the Debian manual for PPC with this pattern Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on '/dev/ide0.0' (/dev/hda) #: type name length base ( size ) 1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 2: Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh 54 @ 64 3: Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh 74 @ 118 4: Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 192 5: Apple_HFS iMacHD 9510006 @ 704 ( 4.5G) 6: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 Linux 3145728 @ 9510710 ( 1.5G) 7: Apple_Free Extra 10 @ 12656438 Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=12656447 (6.0G) DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0 Drivers- 1: @ 64 for 20, type=0x701 2: @ 118 for 33, type=0xf8ff Okay so far, but what about the swap/boot/linux partitions? Where can I find a tutorial step by step for cfdisk to correctly partioning my hd? I have 3GB free. Sorry for the lenghtness, I hope I have been clear.
