Dear Rick,
thank you , but i cannot help myself thinking that booting from CD or
NETINST is more diffiult than from DVD;
i had multiple times installed on G5 mac or g4 powerbook from a DVD
alongside a Mac OS installation with no problem;
this powermac g4 has only CD Drive, and booting from external Firewire
DVD seems very difficult,
so i downloaded several images, both NETINST (Wheezy, Jessie , SID) and
CD Images;
after sorting out the problem with CD Media of low quality,
i finally could boot Adrian-s effort SidImage and it installed, with
Automatic Partition on one Harddrive, alsonside Tiger,
but at Reboot, it would not recognized Yaboot;
then i installed Wheezy 7.11 from CD Image (CD1) and let the installer
update the rest;
again it would not boot after succeusful installation
same with Netinst;
so i presume, i made an error with the automatic partitioning;
i don't know, there are 2 HFS partitions, one with OS , one blank,
and a 3 section for Linux debian;
Now i am trying Squeeze, maybe better luck with that;

Hi Richard,
Don’t be confused by the name NETINST. It means that, in order to keep the
.iso image as small as possible, the installer is prepared to get most of its
Debian packages from the repository mirrors on the network.
You still do it the normal way — burn the .iso image to a CD and boot the CD in
whatever way you are familiar with. There will be a question or two during the
install process about which repository mirror you want to access, but it’s
otherwise normal.
Hope that helps!
Rick

Thank you very much for supporting ,
i downloaded the NETINST,
but how can i boot?
i am used to go into OPEN FIRMWARE
at start by pressing ALT+CMD+O+F
there i type
boot cd:,\install\yaboot
supose that with NETINST the procedure is different?

Hi Richard!
Please don't hijack discussions but open a new thread for that. Otherwise
the discussion becomes hard to follow in the mailing list archives.
if i install Wheezy on Powermac G4,
can i then update to Stretch?
You can update it to Sid. There is no Stretch for PowerPC.
To upgrade, just replace "wheezy" with "sid" in your /etc/apt/sources.list.
Or do i need to install Stretch from Netinstall to succeed?
No.
Where could i download such image?
Download "all files in zip" [1]. The ISO is contained in the ZIP file.
