Hope, this will help with understanding.

You are right, this is probably the easiest way on PPC, but you also
need to install all the build depends manually, right. So you also need to:
cd package_dir/debian
leafpad control
(or geany/gedit/mousepad etc...)
then sudo apt-get install ALL the Build-Depends

Thanks for the follow-up . . . yeah, think I mentioned here that a recent

with midori, so haven't check it lately . . . didn't see luakit in the
If the WebkitGTK JavaScript bug ever gets fixed in Ubuntu then you would be
able to use midori, qupzilla, or even luakit. They use less resources than FF.

You are going to have the same issue. They depend WebKit and JavaScript is

When I build a .deb package from a ppa I just download the source, enter
the directory and run the following, dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
and off it goes! On my 1.42GHz IBook G4 it runs fine, but does take
forever. I am think lower CPU it would be time consuming, but can be done.

Hi Hermino,
To be honest, compiling a kernel on 450 MHZ machine is kind of daunting
:) I built a kernel package on an old Compaq that took over a day to
complete, that was 900MHZ with a 256MB RAM.
But building a deb for a kernel on Debian is incredibly easy, but does
require a very long compile
general suggestion
