However, the installer did not detect the OS X (journalled, case-sensitive) partition. Etch's installer did not manage either. Is the disk too big? (500 Go) As a side problems, I had the fans running at full speed with the daily build (not with Etch). Apart from this, I have the two following comments : - The installer assumes that the keyboard will be a mac one, and does not give opportunity to declare another one. However, I am using a Lenovo keyboard with american layout. - Very often I was asked by the installer if I want to load the PCMCIA modules, and after saying no I was always asked or which options to passe to the modules. Many thanks for your work. I hope you or somebody from the debian-powerpc list (CCed) can help me to install the dual boot (even at full fan speed), as I need it at work.
