Hi *!

Let me introduce myself: my name is Carlos and I'm a MSX, Commodore Amiga & 
UNIX lover. Recently, I got into this thread 
http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=65146 from Mr. Glaubitz that 
explained how to install a recent Debian release on the Amiga. Later, he 
published at http://people.debian.org/~glaubitz/chroots/ m68k-ready kernel 
images of version 3.16, as well as tarballs of the root filesystem; I was 
impressed to see a 3.16 m68k version.

Following the steps he provided I had a running Debian/m68k in my powered up 
Amiga 600. You can see the results here:

Now I have several questions:


·         Does someone know the root password for the tarballs? I can only 
enter the system in single-user mode and passwd is not working there.

·         I'm currently stuck because I have no PCMCIA card for Amiga that 
works with Linux/m68k. Actually I'm looking for one that works with the three: 
cnet.device, Linux/m68k, NetBSD/amiga. Do you know if there is somewhere I can 
find that?

·         What is the current status of the Debian m68k port? It was sad that 
the official support was dropped, but I can understand why. Is there any way to 
help? (although I have basics skills with C, by no means I'm a C coder).

Greets,
Carlos
