It is better for you to install potato with your making bootable install CDROM. Download for powerpc files, and mkhybrid-1.1.2-60 or later on Unix or Win32. Put these files like this. ----------------- (For El torito boot image) bootfull.bin /debian /debian/common/base2_2.tgz /debian/prep/* /debian/prep/disks-1.44/* ----------------- and mkhybrid with PREP-BOOT option. And burn the image on some CD-R burner. Usage: Set the CD-R and boot from this with, pboot 0 (cdrom scsiID) If cdrom have ID 3 of scsiID, then "pboot 0 30" Best regards. ---------------------- Kaz Aoshima = Editor of the PReP station Solid Surface Lab. of Material development, Faculty of engineering, Tohoku University, Japan E-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] #I would appreciate if you could give me suggestions for my impolite English expressions.
