Dear debian users:
I've been struggling with debian-powerpc for a couple of days, and I've running
into a number of bugs. I don't have a debian cd, or a cd-burner, so I'm doing
a network install. So, I downloaded the files prescribed by the installation
docs, and got a base install going. I've got two Ethernet cards installed in
the box, one with an RTL 8029 chip, and the other with an RTL8139 chip.
Unfortunately, neither of them are supported by the base kernel. I do have the
RTL8139 card working under the MacOS, so that's not a problem.
I've heard of people cross-compiling for the PowerPC, and I do have an
i386/Linux box. So, I suppose that somehow I could compile a new kernel on my
i386 box, and move it to the PPC box, but I really don't want to do that, so
what are my options?
-Kurt
