Is it possible to use HFS Boot Partition with Debian and load kernel from
that partition, as LinuxPPC, SuSE and YDL do? Does it reqires only
changes in yaboot.conf?
I really do not like idea of creating Apple_Bootstrap, which is not
directly editable.
there is a patch for 2.2 kernels at sourceforge.org
search for firewire
I dont know which functionality it offers

After some experimenting, I have discovered the trick to getting my usb
mouse to work under X w/o backporting stuff from 2.4. I've posted this to
possibly help some other people just installing Debian.
The trick is to set the protocol to IMPS/2 and the device to
