Although the original author wanted to be able to remove MacOS completely, I will pass along the tip that I was able to install Debian on my 3400 very easily by using BootX to boot a kernel & installation ramdisk image. If the boot floppies don't work, perhaps you could start with a small MacOS partition, use BootX to get Linux installed and booting, and then reclaim the MacOS partition for Linux once you've got the quik stuff worked out. I used to use that with LinuxPPC before I switched to debian, so I know it works on the 3400. just passing along my observations. -wil
