I was inadvertantly using the new-powermac yaboot.conf with the powermac root.bin and kernel when I was doing this on my iMac. Sorry, my bad. I had tried an install earlier on the oldworld but didn't have a complete archive (and that network card is a module so I needed it). That's where I found the mac-fdisk problem, so I decided to switch to the iMac while the stuff was downloading on the first computer. With the fixed mac-fdisk, everything should be fine. I just went and fired up the oldworld, everthing was fine until I started the Base install. I tripped on the famous Malformed Release file bug. The only item showing in the vc3 log before that, is running '/usr/sbin/debootstrap --boot-floppies --arch powerpc woody /target http://debian.tod.net:80/debian Malformed release file http://debian.tod.net:80/debian/dists/woody/Release In /target/var/lib/apt/lists/ I find: Absolutely nothing! Just . and .. I'll leave this computer just like it is, if someone can suggest some troubleshooting steps to nail this sucker once and for all. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
