Snother key combination that might do the trick, rather than C at startup, is Cmd-Opt-Shift-Delete. You can also boot it by breaking into OpenFirmware. (I recently added this section to the manual in my .sig). --- If your system doesn't boot directly from CD-ROM, you can still use the CD-ROM to install the system. You can also use an OpenFirmware command to boot from the CD-ROM manually. Follow the instructions in <ref id="boot-newworld"> for booting from the hard disk, except use the path to yaboot on the CD at the OF prompt, such as 0 > boot cd:,install\powermac\yaboot --- (In chapter 5). -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
