On a alubook 5,8, testing the debian-testing-powerpc-businesscard.iso ------------------------------------------ 1: It boots correctly 2: Choose language/Country: Works (for German) 3: Choose keyboard: Does work with restrictions for a German one: German umlauts are unavailable on the (ncurses) installer menu: Umlauts work on the console. 4: The installer hung for minutes, giving me no messages whatsoever on tty4 for the reason of this issue: Then, after - for my taste - a much too long time it gave me back a crashed installerscreen to choose the network card. At this point I couldn't even change to tty4 or tty(2?). After a few minutes of waiting I pressed the power button for a new try. The reason for the crash *might* have been either that I chose the wrong network card (eth1) or the fact that I tried umlauts on the "choose hostname" screen: The latter meant I typed an umlaut which ended in something like <F1> or <E4> and similarly wrong output. Then trying the key on the right side of the "Apple" key then unexpectedly worked as an <ENTER> key, thus setting the "Rechnername" (something like machine name in English?) with these wrong umlaut substitutes. 5: The installer did not not recognise an attached SCSI disk, that was connnected to the machine via Firewire 400. I expected the disk on sda, and I tried to see it with mac-fdisk and with a simple ls /dev/ and then typing <TAB> to see the optional devices ... I chose "Festplatten erkennen", something like "detect hard discs, to no avail ... /dev/hda inside the machine, was detected correctly with all partitions, as it seems ... 6: Network (Internet) connection, manually configured because I do not use DHCP on the router, seems to work .... After the partitioning screen I rebooted (just to be sure it didn't change anything ... :) More tests on the business card iso? Let me know if yes, please ..
