Installing Lenny on PowerMac?
I have a temporary need to install Lenny on a PowerMac G4 so I can run some tests on a fresh installation for a user who is unable (for various reasons) to upgrade to Squeeze at this time. When I run the netinst installer CD all seems well until it wants to setup sources.list. Then it dies claiming to be unable to determine code-name for release. (I don't remember the exact wording of the error message, but the intent is clear.) Is there a work-around for this that would allow me to do my testing? Would I have better luck with a DVD, where I wouldn't need to get anything from the network mirrors until after the installation is complete? Thanks!
