Even if debian-ppc is not stable enough yet, I'd like to try installing it. I have approx. 500 Mbyte of disk space on a PowerMac 5400/180, and a MacOS partition. I read the installation instructions (http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/installation) and I understood that first I need to get Stuffit (I have it) and then repartition the hard disk. It is still not clear how to get a core system on the partition. I get the tarball and then what? Please help me or at least tell me what to read.
jabberwock P.S.: Do you think that 500M enough for a small, experimental workstation? If the students like (the need only Netscape, a simple word processor and an e-mail program) it we can put debian on all of the ten PPCs.
