Hi! I am trying to install debian onto my 1GHz Powerbook 15" with German keyboard. I downloaded and burned to CD the Powerpc_woody iso using jigdo from my i386 Linux machine. (Jan this year)
I installed booting from the CD and selecting install24 and did a base install from the CD and "desktop" selection from tasksel via ftp. I now have a basic installation and can boot into linux or OSX via yaboot. Unfortunately I can't get X to run So... I decided to update to one of Ben Herrenschmidt's 2.4 powerpc kernels as well as the XFree 4.2 .deb package from Herr Daenzer . My first problem is that I am unable to find the "tilde" character on the keyboard. I OSX its ALT "N" but the ALT and CTL keys are just not working as expected. If anyone here has already been down this road and solved the problem, I would be gratefull for a few tips on where to start. Thanks Francis
