I have installed debian etch on an older powerbook g4 and had no issues at all. In my case, however, there was no Mac OS X. I simply installed Debian Etch 4.0 and this is the only system I have on my laptop. Do you have a separate partition for Debian Etch? Maybe the problem is OS X takes the entire hard drive and you need a separate partition to install debian. Amit -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
