Hi all, I'm using a woody on my PowerPC, all downloaded around mid of november (last kernel).
I can't connect to the internet (I can with MacOS on the same computer). I have read all archives here and on debian-user and all material I found, but no way. Here are a few results and configurations that can help in diagnostic... Please give me some clues !... Do I need more packets ? The problem is that I don't have the CDs of the Woody (I upgraded from Potato2.2r3 by a friend's and can't go to him each time I need a packet). I still have the Potato CDs: can I use them anymore for my computer ? Can I download the packets from debian.org to my MacOS, and then pass them to the linux partition ? Thanks in advance.
