Hiya everyone, I'm a total newbie to Linux/Debian and I'm trying to install Sarge on my iMac G5. I'm getting past the initial installer screens, setting the language, country, keyboard, etc. HOWEVER, just before it attempts to run the rest of the installer of the CD it comes up with an error claiming it cannot locate the CD drive. It asks me to locate the driver (I think) but I wouldn't know where to point it.
I have no idea what to do - but this must be a common problem with hardware that is as generic as Apple's. Can anyone help? These are my computer specs in brief: Hardware Overview: Machine Name: iMac G5 Machine Model: PowerMac8,1 CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.0) Number Of CPUs: 1 CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB Memory: 1.5 GB Bus Speed: 600 MHz Boot ROM Version: 5.2.2f4 And this the CD drive specs in detail: MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-825: Firmware Revision: DBN7 Interconnect: ATAPI Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported) Cache: 2048 KB Reads DVD: Yes CD-Write: -R, -RW DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO Media: Media Type: CD-ROM Blank: No Erasable: No Overwritable: No Appendable: No
