This one should do that. parted with hfs and debootstrap are installed. ftp://ftp.crihan.fr/mirrors/knoppix-mib.org/k-mib-ppc-beta-pre5.iso.gz You should go in a root shell; just run "source /KNOPPIX/root/.profile" to set the PATH correctly, and "dpkg-reconfigure console-data" to set the keyboard correctly. You can test with pre6, but it seems squashfs do a kernel oops on G5. pre5 works on already one G5. There is a mailing list about this project. You can send there your opinion about your tests. See there: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/k-mib > Some idea I had : > - debootstrap a ppc64 on a directory on my BiG4 and use bootcdwrite > - debootstrap a ppc32 on a directory on my BiG4 and use bootcdwrite > - generate an installer (where do I need to go to have information > to do so?) debootstrap seems to be the simpliest way, as soon as you are in a LAN. I like the idea to make a liveCD with debian-installer, like in this project: https://alioth.debian.org/projects/debix/ > I can try both 32 and 64 bits benh kernels with ppc32 debian packages > but do the ppc64 debian packages will work with a 32 bits or 64 bits > kernel ? You're welcome in the list above. It's a kind of knoppix project with ppc port. Regards -- Fleny68
