hi, like Sven says don't forget to copy your new kernel back to macos partition so bootx can find it !
also take care you have security update in your sources.list and then you should get the last kernel of sarge which is 2.6.8-3 powerpc. I think you are safe upgradeing from woody to sarge, if you are thinking to go further upgrades to etch and beyond it will probably be ok. but it may be a bit slower, maybe sometimes. Also depends on how much memory you have there as more is getting to need all the time. In fact that is the biggest difference to me. some old version of linux i picked up for starters on my old g3 that was from '99 it gave me the whole of kde for 32MB of RAM and 500MB of disk. today need I estimate 256 RAM for kde maybe ?? Anyway i just use an lightweight window manager such as openbox. I have two g3 one is a desktop of march 1998 and one is original g3 powerbook of November 1997. the powerbook did fine with stock kernel up until pre-release of etch and is now running lenny/sid with a local kernel built... I have tested etch kernels on my desktop g3 and could use the stock ones there, and i imagine it would be same for you but I cannot guarantee. well I think that the one wallstreet with more problems was a 233mhz. What you have maybe is also called PDQ -- should be ok if you have RAM. I would reccommend at least 128, but it does vary a lot depends on what you do. you can boot with probably 32 but like I say above for kde you probably want 256. also if you wish to practice build your own kernel anyway it is not that hard and it may be faster and use less RAM. it takes about 3 hours to build on mine. Well my pbg3 has 160 and I haveing no desire for kde can pretty much do what I like. on the dtg3 with 192, macosX is running short by about half so i need to either finish my debian updgrade or get more RAM. well good luck, brian --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I have installed Debian Woody on my powerfull > PowerBook G3 266 Mhz (the black model without USB > ports, I think its called WallStreet) I was doing a > distro-upgrade with apt-get when the process > signalised that I have to upgrade also the kernel (I > have the version 2.4). > > The command : > apt-cache search kernel > give me the following result: > kernel-image-2.6-power3 - linux 2.6 image on power3 > - transition package > kernel-image-2.6-power3-smp - linux 2.6 image on > power3 - transition package > kernel-image-2.6-power4 - linux 2.6 image on > power4/G5 - transition package > kernel-image-2.6-power4-smp - linux 2.6 image on SMP > power4/G5 - transition package > kernel-image-2.6-powerpc - Linux 2.6 image on > powerpc-class - transition package > kernel-image-2.6-powerpc-smp - Linux 2.6 image on > powerpc-smp-class - transition package > kernel-image-power3 - linux image on power3 - > transition package > kernel-image-power3-smp - linux image on power3 - > transition package > kernel-image-power4 - linux image on power4/G5 - > transition package > kernel-image-power4-smp - linux image on power4/G5 - > transition package > kernel-image-powerpc - Linux image on powerpc-class > - transition package > kernel-image-powerpc-smp - Linux image on > powerpc-smp-class - transition package > > Which is the good one for me? > No one can give me some hints on the process of > kernel upgrade?
