I had trouble initially. I've gotten past it. > 1) Potato 2.2r2 CD#1 could not be used as startup - hangs at the > beginning with strange video artifacts. Nothing helps. Are you running X or just a text console? If the latter, you probably want to have in your yaboot.conf "append=video=aty128fb:vmode:10:cmode:8" as an option. > 2) I can install LinuxPPC (Red Hat v7 based) without complete > reformatting my HD (I have 6 GB MacOS 9 partition and 4 GB unallocated). > Is it possible to use LinuxPPC partitioning scheme later with Debian? > LinuxPPC uses 32 MB HFS startup partition to load Linux kernel.
