I booted the http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/debian-cd/woody-powerpc-1.iso 30-Aug-2002 01:44 186M It booted fine on my G4 'Snakebite'. However the kernel did not have a driver for my SCSI card. I was told that I could download and install the driver via the net after I had the CD booted. I have not tried this yet. Otherwise everything else seemed fine. Note this CD is a minimal CD designed for installing via the network. i.e. It only contains enough for a basic Debian setup. It assumes that you will download most applications through the network. That's OK for me since I have a good network connection. If you use a modem dialup, it could be a bit of a pain. Fred
