Re: Problem installing debian on G3 beige
Well what I did was to with 2.2r0 was to have 1 MacOS partion about 60MB and I ran BootX on that partition that worked then you have to start playing around with something called yaboot or quik. I think its /sbin/quik for beige machines but first configure /etc/quik.conf I included a pdf file that might describe how to do some of it, if not all. I run debian 2.2r0 on PPC 7600/132 G4/450MP (MacOS9.1 + debian 2.2r0 multi boot) some PCs and Im working on getting debian 2.2r2 to work on a G3 desktop.

Re: Problem installing debian on G3 beige
Info for booting is needed, as that is the only topic I had problems with in debian PPC, 2.2r0 was extreme! 2.2r2 is better on new world Macs But video is harder! fb is probably not well documented for PPC, I heard, some video stuff: fbset 1024x768-75 -accel False to show your current settings: fbset -s to change all consoles: fbset 1024x768-75 -a -accel False "make the system bootable from the hard drive?" only works on new world Macs I think Gjermund On søndag 7. januar 2001 02:09, Andrew Sharp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >I had the exact same problem on this Pmac 7200/megaslow.

Re: BootX instructions (Was Re: Problem installing debian on G3 beige)
I like debian the best of the linux distros mainly because it does not taste like a beta, I know however that YDL is aimed at the beginner and to recrute MacOS users to linux. but on the ppc platform I find debian the hardest to reach the start of installation and boot off HD without BootX, the boot from HD only seems to work on my G4 my 7600 and G3 beige does not seem to do very well bootwise. -- Yours Sincerely, Gjermund Gusland Thorsen For evil to triumph it is only necessary for good men to buy Microsoft.

You could always use the deb 2.2r0 floppies; as those work.
