I was told by a Debian developer (x86 side) that untarring the base
tarball into a partition is not the proper way to install (of course,
this is how I installed Debian on my computer, and I got bitten by all
sorts of problems because I had a umask set). However, having no idea
how to properly install Debian/ppc I bulled through getting the base
system configured. Basically, I just downloaded whatever .debs were
missing or out of date and installed them individually.
I'm quite sure this is not correct, but it got me running.
