Oh, my bad. I was not aware this was the current state of affairs. It is not documented at https://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/, https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/ppc64el/, https://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/inst/pmac, etc. Maybe it would be a good idea to clearly state it somewhere. A prescriptive recipe would be most helpful. A prescriptive recipe provides the exact steps someone should perform. Jeff
