Binary .debs are available for i386, ia64, powerpc, and sparc. I forgot to add ia64 to the architecture list for the osmesa library packages, but this code did compile successfully, so these packages will be shipping for ia64 in the next version. Do you have plans to release it to the m68k also?

Charlene Scott 267 W Main St Ridgway PA 15853 814-776-6681 [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am writing because of your contest of "What do you want to accomplish". My only thing to do is help my 86 year old dad find his brother. They were seperated when he was around 3 and he wants to find him. My Dad's name is Gilbert Barboza and he was born Feb 26, 1919. His brother George Barboza was born in1920 or 1921, he is not sure. They were born on 80th Avenue in Oakland Ca. My dad served in WWII and he thinks George did to but was never able to find out anything for sure. If you can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

Re: yaboot failure on external drive
On 28/03/10 01:44 PM, Greg Ward wrote: Hi all -- I'm trying to install lenny (5.0.4 netinst) on a firewire drive connected to a PowerBook G4. This is really a dry run to see how much I can get working under Debian. (Right now I'm torn between sticking to slow, bloated OS X 10.5, downgrading to OS X 10.4, or switching to a leaner OS altogether... and Debian is my first choice, although this will be the first time I've ever put Linux on non-x86 machine. It's the eternal struggle between "everything just works, but I'm not really in control" (OS X) and "most things work after I spend enough time fiddling with them, but I am in control" (Linux).) For partitioning, I let debian-installer do "guided partitioning" of the whole 40 GB disk. Then I manually tweaked that so that lenny only gets a 10 GB partition, because I also want to backup the existing OS X install onto this same disk. But I left the boot partition that d-i created alone. The installation goes fine until it tries to install yaboot. That fails with Failed to install boot loader The installation of the yaboot boot loader failed. Check /var/log/syslog or see virtual console 4 for the details. Warning: your system may be unbootable! At this point I have a couple of questions. 1) can I install yaboot on a firewire disk? I know OS X itself will boot off this disk, since I have done it successfully. So I'm assuming yaboot+linux can also boot off of it. 2) how do I get to VC 4? i.e. what is the equivalent of Alt-F4 on a Mac running Linux? I've tried Fn-F4, Ctrl-F4, Option-F4, and Command-F4. It looks like the keystrokes go to debian-installer rather than being intercepted by the kernel. 3) the first time I tried this (yesterday), I used "Execute a shell" in hopes of looking in /var/log/syslog... but the console keymapping was totally screwed up. All I could do was powerdown and give up in frustration. I just retried the installation today with the same yaboot error, and now (thankfully) I can use the shell. The only difference between the two attempts is that yesterday I partitioned manually, and today I used guided partition with manual adjustments. Any idea what might have gone wrong with my console keymap yesterday? 4) ah-ha! now that I can read syslog, I think I've found the yaboot problem: yaboot-installer: mkofboot: Unable to find OpenFirmware path for boot=/dev/sda2 yaboot-installer: mkofboot: Please add ofboot= where is the OpenFirmware path to /dev/sda2 to /etc/yaboot.conf Well that sounds straightforward... /dev/sda is my firewire disk (the internal disk is /dev/hda -- this Mac is pre-SATA). So now I need to figure out how to say "/dev/sda2" in OpenFirmware's syntax. I'll go off and do the obvious google'ing, but any hints are welcome.
