i am booting 2.6.18-1 from debian unstable on DT Beige G3 revB (March,'98). i have testing installed for the most part and i have been having some trouble getting Xorg7.0 to go. i was working on it a bit more today, i got a little further. since i want to run etch i don't want to go too far into unstable for when there is the freeze, but this should be very soon now shouldn't it.(i am wondering if xorg7.1 will get in mostly)
i have working on a copy and saving a copy of sarge in case of severe mishap. i am also running etch completely up to date on an older powerbook (2/97) but i cannot get it to boot later kernel than 2.6.15 with either bootx or quik.you can't get 2.6.15 from debian anymore, its been deleted. third, i have one new world machine running etch with 2.6.17. a few problems but minor. i am really worried that support is getting cut for the older macs and starting with the pre-g3s now but maybe more later. so another reason i want to stay in etch not get caught in unstable/testing. also expect if you are upgrading online to get 404 not found errors on some packages. advise use alternate mirror as well as putting both etch and testing in sources.list (i use osu as i know they have both sarge and etch ppc boxes (pegasos) running there). --- Fábio Rabelo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, just checking . > The current kernel 2.6.18 present in Debian Unstable > ( sid ) is able to > boot a Beige G3 with BootX ? > I have one of this, and is working fine as > gateway/firewall of one of my > costumers, but I will personally in his place to > upgrade some other > things, so I could take the chance and update this > machine too ?!? > > thanks in advance > > Fábio Rabelo __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
