Otherwise you're in for a nice newbie > bashing, which in turn no one is really looking forward to. read the installation docs and the mac-fdisk-basics doc from my page. the main irritating question is `i used the `make bootable from hard disk' and my system does not boot!' the method for getting the bootstrap correctly setup is clearly documented in the debian install instructions (look for `mkofboot'). and the correct way to partition and create the bootstrap partition is documented in my mac-fdisk doc. http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/doc or for a non slow server http://penguinppc.org/usr/ybin/doc i highly reccommend you repartition from scratch so that you can get the bootstrap stuff setup correctly which linuxppc botches the worst. and to fully purge MacOS which it doesn't sound like you need (running a server). the main list archive questions mostly fall into the realm of X11 and mouse button emulation crap, X11 should be a non-issue on a server since you won't install it. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
