Debian install on Virtual PC / OS X
I am trying to install the latest Debian with the ISO bf2.4-3.023-netinst. I am doing this with Virtual PC 6.1 on an Apple iMac 17 Flat Panel with a G4 1.25 MHz. I can get the install to boot and start, my problem is on selecting the correct Network driver for the iMac. I tried Tulip and no go. I have the firewall on the Mac opened for port 80 and 8080. Has anyone install via this method before that may know the answer. We have 3 other Debian boxes running on regular white boxes for a few years now with little or no troubles. -- Thanks!!

If I understand what Virtual PC does properly, the actual hardware inside the Mac is somewhat irrelevant; you'd need to figure out what network hardware Virtual PC is emulating and use a driver for that. You'll almost certainly get noticably better performance, and not have an intermediate layer of Microsoft, if you installed Debian (PPC) on the Macintosh directly. The downside is that you won't be able to use Debian and Macintosh programs at the same time, since you can only be booted into one OS or the other. Maybe there's something like VMWare that's a PPC virtualizer out there? -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ Theoretical politics is interesting.

Okay that makes sense, I guess I will dig/google around that path.

Totally agree, was more or less just f*rting around with the possibility of testing Debian on Virtual PC, we have 3 regularly Debian installs on regular PC boxes running. Thanks! -- Thanks!!
