The installation manual suggests in 4.2 that the files downloadable from Debian mirrors have a flavour 'new-powermac' that use a 2.4 kernel. However, visiting (one of the) http.us.debian.org servers, the only ones that showed up were the powermac images.
Is this because all powermacs use the 2.2 kernel, or is it because the server did not have the new-powermac flavour available? Secondly, I have no floppy drive on my machine, but a UFS formatted partition for Debian to reside on. It would be useful if the installation documents suggested a way of uncompressnig the disk images and unzipping them to the (newly formatted) partition, along with a (yaboot/OF) boot command to boot of the new drive. (I'm downloading the debian-imac.sit, which may be the solution; however, at 22MB it's significantly larger than the few boot-floppies which I'd need.)
