So far as I can tell, this bug has not been looked at by the debian-
installer folks.
Is PowerPC simply so unimportant that resources cannot be spared to
even *look* at a problem that renders the installer unusable on that
hardware?
It means there hasn't been a volunteer so far. Are you volunteering?
Yes. I'm volunteering to help anyone who knows the structure of the
installer disks better than I do.
I have hardware I can test things on. I have a good general knowledge
of Unix and Linux. I can perform experiments and report on the results.
As far as diagnosing the problem: It looks like a necessary library is
missing, but I don't have the background knowledge to figure out which
one, and I don't have the knowledge of the installer disk build
processes to figure out how it's getting missed, even if I knew which
one it was.
As it stands, unless somebody knowledgeable can help me track this
down, Squeeze will not be available for PowerPC.
That will be too bad.
