vmlinuz-2.2.25-mac is included in all of the current distributions, so isn't offtopic here. I did change the subject to make it clear we're not talking about amiga any more. Current distributions and codenames are as follows. unstable = sid testing = etch stable = sarge oldstable = woody Woody uses an boot-floppies--based installer. Sarge and later use a debian-installer--based installation. Let's ignore woody and keep the discussion about d-i. Images from [0] are the current stable release, sarge. Images from [1] are betas for etch. Images from [2] are daily test images. [0] [ht|f]tp.[xx.]debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-m68k/current/images [1] [ht|f]tp.[xx.]debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-m68k/current/images [2] http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/images-m68k/daily/ If you're using a 2.2.x kernel, you need to set ramdisk_size=20000 (if you're installating sarge, you can get away with 13000). If you're using a 2.6.x kernel, you need to set ramdisk_size=8192 (I think). If you're using a 2.2.x kernel, you should select an initrd22.gz image. If you're using a 2.6.x kernel, you should select an initrd.gz image. So for a typical mac, using the daily images, your kernel command line should be: root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=20000. I welcome testing with both kernels, especially of the daily images. Right now, 2.6.x doesn't work with most macs. A description of the image types is at <http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.m68k/ch05s01.html#m68k-boot-hd>. <http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/> will lead you to the right iso for you, if that's what you need. If network connectivity and bandwidth are not an issue for you, go with the native-hd/initrd22.gz image and don't bother with iso's. Hope that clears some things up, Stephen -- Stephen R.
