Oh, damnit, another one using an external method instead of contributing to making the debian installer have good prep support. All those of you with PReP machines, i would really much like you to try out the debian installer, and provide feedback if it doesn'y work, and test the 2.6.7 kernel on it, which just got prep support thanks to mkvmlinuz-7. > It's very easy. > Basically you need to create the boot and root floppy, get the > openfirmware prompt and then 'boot floppy'.
