Hi am also new 2 debian world came 2 this world to make my iBook&iMac midnight-commander oriented
> > really want to be able to use apt, i hate redhat's package manager. is also my reason 2 move 2 debian starting from the smallest install and making things grow only with really needed things is what i like (but have to study more 2 put downloaded-.deb things from my hfs-partition hope these are not mission impossible local mirror doesn't have to be getting all..does it? preparing .deb things @ hfs-partition won't make additional installin work?) anyway > On Mon, Feb 12, 2001 at 03:10:18PM -0500, sobrien wrote: > > hello all. > > > > i would like to move from linuxppc to debian. can anyone tell me if i > > will be able to use my exisiting partitions (i don't see why not) and if > > i will still be able to use BootX, or will i have to use yaboot? i > > you should not ever use bootx on newworlds such as imacs. always use > yaboot.
