you posted to debian-ports, which is really an alias for 6 or more lists -- debian-alpha, debian-m68k, debian-sparc, debian-arm, debian-mips etc etc. don't do that ;-) the list you want is debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org > I have a PowerPC Performa 6290 CD. I ca not find information on if Debian > will run on it. If not why? it depends if this is a PCI mac or not, i don't know the performa models well enough to say. if its the older NuBus, pre OpenFirmware then no. though there is a recent kernel effort to port linux to the nubus. if that is working enough you could install debian but it would be a bit more difficult since the boot floppies don't support that subarch yet. > Michael Schmitz; are you saying that NO PowerPC's will build on Debian? I i hope he did not say such a thing, i am writing this on a Blue G3 running Debian potato. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
