Hello all...
I'm just poking around on my G3/266 and I'm noticing that I don't have a
/dev/modem, or any tty that links to it. Does the d-i create such a
device only if you say that you want to install via ppp? This could be a
problem if, for example, you want to use your modem to output a serial

Hello all...
I just would like to say that I'm annoyed with the way that you have the
installer instructions set up: they refer to woody stuff rather than the
updated information on sarge.
Also...I'm annoyed that I can't figure out a way to put th
imum for a low memory install is 8 MB.
The installer should check for minimum memory first, then error out and refuse
to install, or allow for swap space to be set up first.

What install did you do? Woody? Potato?
I know that, because of my hardware (PM G3/266, Voodoo3), some 2.4 kernels
give me all kinds of funky colors. Lately, though (2.4.14 + kernels), the
console has been black and white. I also just found out that I have to put

Well, number 1 you could ask your questions on the debian-powerpc list.
Number 2, give more information.
Number 3, read all documentation you can find related to this, and you'd see
that your question about the rescue.bin image file is silly...

Does this mean that when it's time for the install the the
user/admin/installer will have a choice of reiserfs vs ext3 (or some other
fs)?

On the other hand, there is an option when doing the install to add third
party kernel modules, isn't there?

It's in the other mac instructions that I edited last summer. It's also all
over the m68k list archives, and it's a FAQ!

Cool! modconf is great, but how can I select all the modules en masse? The

At least I'm not the only one who doesn't have a problem with not being

There's the option of installing basedebs.tgz, which I don't know if it
includes the debian pppconfig utility or not...try that.

Reiserfs is definitely a 2.4 kernel. It seems that since woody is going to go
out with a 2.2.[19-20] kernel, this in particular will be in another release.
(right?)
