Hey, Maybe a bit late but testing nevertheless ;-)
On 15 Dec, this message from Adam Di Carlo echoed through cyberspace: > I've uploaded i386 and powerpc boot-floppies to > <URL:http://people.debian.org/~aph/debian/dists/woody/main/>. OK, tested these (in fact the 20011221 build of bf 3.0.18) for a new install on a 7600 Powermac (SCSI disks, Oldworld, installation booted via BootX). I've come across a few problems: - I need to repartition the SCSI disk. I want to keep Apple-style partirions, so I need to use mac-fdisk. First problem: debootstrap doesn't offer the choice of the aprtitioning tool. On PowerPC, I guess one should be able to use either mac-fdisk or standard fdisk. - trying to use mac-fdisk from a shell, I get this error: /sbin/mac-fdisk: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected Hmmm.. looks like ash tries to execute mac-fdisk as a shell script? - from debootstrap, choosing 'partition harddisk' brings up the disk selection screen. Selecting /dev/sda brings me back immediately to the debootstrap screen, and the log shows fdisk exited normally. But I have no chance to see why it exits immediately. I still have to try it manually from a shell to see what's up. FWIW, this is using my own 2.4.16 kernel since I need special stuff in the kernel (Promise IDE controller). Thanks, and cheers Michel PS I haven't looked, but I suppose LVM tools are not suported on bf? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michel Lanners | " Read Philosophy.
