Well, I've already installed debian on a powerbook G4 17" with most of the hardware (the one I need most :) working including the complete system, X at 1440x900 16bits, USB, network (cable, no airport) and sound.
I've made this iso image with a 2.4.20-benh kernel: http://people.gnulinux.org.mx/drs/powerbook/powerbook17.iso that can make a debian netinstall; but the cd cannot boot using the 'c' key at the chime sound, you need to enter openfirmware (pressing when the chime sounds, at the same time [apple] + [alt] + [o] + [f]) and boot it using: boot cd:,\yaboot Once the system is installed, you can get the .deb of the kernel I'm running from here: http://people.gnulinux.org.mx/drs/powerbook/kernel-image-2.4.21-ben1_drs.2.4_powerpc.deb Here is my X config file (WARNING: I use dvorak): http://people.gnulinux.org.mx/drs/powerbook/XF86Config-4 And you can also find here my /etc/modules.conf and /etc/modules: http://people.gnulinux.org.mx/drs/powerbook/modules http://people.gnulinux.org.mx/drs/powerbook/modules.conf I hope this files help someone install debian successfully ! :) Rafael -- Dr. Rafael Sepúlveda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://people.gnulinux.org.mx/drs 1024D/AF54DED7 4391 1BF0 6555 8D09 B23D 501F ABB5 4044 AF54 DED7
