Yup, should be possible. But i can't say it directly for powermac's. I have a CHRP computer and setting the computer up is a little bit different. There are round about 1000 packages available. Also a generic base tarball. Drow can say more about pmacs. We will have a complete distribution for slink, aka debian-2.1 in november or december. I hope it! MfG, Hartmut
