Thanks for the tip. Did you have to do anything special when installing Debian 5 to get it to run on the Wallstreet or did it just work? WiFi (via a Lucent WaveLan Silver card) works on the Wallstreet under YDL 3 so I suspect it would under Debian as well. Cheers, Ray P.S. I see at http://penguinppc.org/about/distributions.php that Debian, along with openSUSE and (Japanese) Vine Linux, is one of the few distros that still support Old World Macs. _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list - [email protected] Unsuscribe info: http://lists.fixstars.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:us.fixstars.com'
