Re: Install Sarge on a Ibook ?
hi... * Sebastian Tennant [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-02-24 09:09 +0100]: After you're done please file an installer report, there haven't been enough people testing the PPC port. I've successfully installed Debian using the debian-sarge-netinst.iso installer on an Apple G4. I'd be happy to file an installer report. Could you post a link and/or describe how you do this? http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/report-template hth, sebastian -- ::: .O. ::: ..O ::: OOO ::: lynx -source http://www.kodeaffe.de/shensche.pub | gpg --import signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Install Sarge on a Ibook ?
Hi, This is my first message in this list, and I willl begin with a presentation : I am Diego, an happy owner of an Ibook G3 900 MHZ, combo. Some weeks ago I upgraded my system to the panther, and in that occasion I partitioned my HD so that a partition of 3 GB is now free just to install a debian inside ! I read some how-to and the instruction are quite clear, but what I would like to do is to install a debian testing distribution (Sarge); I think the best way to do it is to install a very little core of debian from wich install the complete debian testing distribution (so,a network installation ) but I do not know exactly what is the procedure and where to find the core I need to start the installation; I am sure this is not the first time of a request like this here, so a link with a tutorial or the essential informations would be greatly appreciated: Note the in my system I do not have Mac OS 9, only Panther and, hopefully, Linux Debian :) Thank you in advance for any help or advices, Diego __ Yahoo!

You're sure 3 GB is enough for you? ... I read some how-to and the instruction are quite clear, but what I would like to do is to install a debian testing distribution (Sarge); On a more than 1 year old PowerBook G4, 867MHz, Radeon 9000 the following worked like a charm: http://people.debian.org/~branden/ibook.html Not being sure how new your ibook is, which exact hardware you have and whether it is already supported on Debian ppc. But: http://linux-on-laptops.com/apple.html http://malik.homelinux.org/ibook/ibook-2.6.html and probably much more via Google :) Good luck Regards Wolfgang I think the best way to do it is to install a very little core of debian from wich install the complete debian testing distribution (so,a network installation ) but I do not know exactly what is the procedure and where to find the core I need to start the installation; I am sure this is not the first time of a request like this here, so a link with a tutorial or the essential informations would be greatly appreciated: Note the in my system I do not have Mac OS 9, only Panther and, hopefully, Linux Debian :) Thank you in advance for any help or advices, Diego __ Yahoo!
