Dear Simon, would you,please elaborate on the CDROM's? I downloaded and burned the following, but no luck. http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian-cd/current/powerpc/iso-cd/ http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/etch_di_rc1/powerpc/iso-cd/ ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/debian-cd/current/powerpc/iso-cd It always ends up with no cdrom detected, and asking for drivers. Are there any more drivers I could get from somewhere? The cd drive itself works OK in the 9.1 MAC OT that there is on the machine (Performa 6400/200), I played a music cd, and it showed on the desktop, however--when I put in the iso Debian disk, I don't see it on the desktop, and not knowing much about Macs, I don't know how to mount it, and where to see it. I searched and it was suggested somewhere that I could install from the HD, but how do I get to manipulate the CD-ROM, if I don't see it on the desktop? PPMI (please pardon my ignorance), sincerely - Hearthstone.
