thnkx jean, chris, david for your advices.
i will try my best with debian..and stop trying the gentoo
live-cd's that dont boot my machine [tibook 500mhz, 512ram]
my Q. now is if anyone knows if its possible to use ethan
benson's:
boot-new-powermac-xfs.iso cd's from:
http://penguinppc.org/~eb/files/boot-new-powermac-xfs.iso
and point [the debian installer] to the below kernel-modules, but
not in a netinstall but to look for them inside/aside the same cd
directory? [meaning i plan to d/l them first and the burn a cd with
the iso booter plus the kernel etc]
kernel-headers-2.4.21-newpmac_2.4.21-1_powerpc.deb
http://penguinppc.org/~eb/files/debian-xfs-packages/kernel-headers-2.4.21-newpmac_2.4.21-1_powerpc.deb
i have tried to look for them in the unmounted mac OS
partitions but the /target thing and the /hda12 addresses are not
found???. I have also tried through a shell...with no luck..maybe i
just dont know how to get the exact path to the files maybe its cause
the unmounted partitions are HFS+ though they appear in the map as HFS
only..???
thnkx loads for any advice on how to proceed.
