I just got Debian running today (on the Ti I got yesterday). steps: 1. get the binary-powerpc-1 CD 2. get into Open Firmware (option-command-o-f) 3. boot the cd with 'boot cd:\\yaboot' (holding 'c' during powerup doesn't seem to work) 4. use 'linux video=ofonly' at the boot: prompt 5. when you get to the drive partitioning stage, follow the instructions from http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/doc/mac-fdisk-basics.txt 6. finish up the rest of the install 7. before you reboot, edit yaboot.conf - mount /dev/hda3 /mnt (hda3 is my root partition) - ae /mnt/etc/yaboot.conf - edit the boot= line to point to your bootstrap partition (/dev/hda2 in my case) - comment out the 'nonvram' line 8. mkofboot -v -C /mnt/etc/yaboot.conf 9. reboot into Debian That's where I'm at. No X, no sound, but the ethernet works. I'm going to upgrade to unstable now. -grant -- Grant Hollingworth / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / http://okcomputer.antiflux.org
