erm, after a bit of RTFMing and reading earlier threads in this list, i start getting it. i have tried the multiarch kernel package from Sven. (http://people.debian.org/~luther/ppc64/) it works nicely, except the fan goes really full speed, much higher than using the 2.6.11-power4. I have also tried to install a pppc64 chroot as explained in http://debian-ppc64.alioth.debian.org/READ_ME , but: sudo debootstrap --arch ppc64 \ --exclude=gcc-3.3-base,libstdc++5,libdb3 \ --include=gcc-4.0-base,libstdc++6 \ sarge ppc64.chroot http://debian-ppc64.alioth.debian.org/gcc4 [...] I: Validating aptitude I: Retrieving aptitude W: http://debian-ppc64.alioth.debian.org/gcc4/pool/main/a/aptitude/aptitude_0.2.15.9-2.0.0.1.gcc4_ppc64.deb was corrupt E: Couldn't download aptitude when using sid instead, i just get: E: Couldn't download gcc-4.0-base i have debootstrap 0.2.45-0.2 installed. any idea? thanks, paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
