advise installing a simple sarge system with xfree86 and then upgrade to testing/etch, going through the xorg transition.
(you may wish to save your etc/sources.list, it has security. make sure you get the security mirror as well as the main one. also those refers to http: http, not http: ftp (it fails to find server frequently). i also use a backup mirror but optionally because it download multi megabytes of these pdiff files.) i am sure there are other ways but this one worked (for me) i did this before early in the year and they worked it out to go smoothly, at least on the newer (to me) machines. unless there is something someone knows about nvidia card, i don't have one, but i looked at your log file and it looks normal, more or less (font path errors). on my new world mac i replaced the system a month ago and the only way i could get to go was even i tried again on a scratch partition a few weeks ago and i still could not get xorg, that is straight away etch install. i am sure part of the difficulty is the new release yet which is still beta ... now i am trying to do the same with older power macs. its a pain sort of but it works, --- Ralf Saalm�ller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello at DebianPPC, > > after I was done with Ubuntu DapperDrake on my iMac > G4/800 I tried the > current Debain etch install-iso and was very > pleased.
