I'm using a G4 machine and am having problems with debian-configuration.
It is using the dialog interface. I manage to get through stuff like
setting up the network but when it asks me about using md5 passwords, I
find that the keyboard no longer responds. I try to break to another

Dan, thanks for all your great work.
The issue here is to try to knock out the really critical bugs for the
potato release. Bugs which would prevent even a knowlegdable person
from being able to install.
Remember that even after potato release we can still, and should,

Hello Daniel,
I think I found the problem.

Making Linux bootable from the hard drive still has a tremendous way to go -
you'll need to find your own way to do it. But other than that I have
gotten CVS bootfloppies into a usable shape for this arch. It also required
a change to console-data that I'm dubious about - see #62067.

The mac/ keymaps do not work on powermacs; keycode 0 is 'a', not keycode 90.
I attach a diff, but I assume it is not appropriate, because these keymaps
have been in use for a while - are they valid on mac68k?
I just resynced them b

Thanks for your help earlier. The install was really easy, and I was able to
grab Base2_2.tgz off an NFS mount. It took a while to get 16-bit colour, and
map my keyboard properly (I spent a wonderful afternoon figuring out the
mapping when I accidentally used the wrong keymap file), but it's b

I would like to try and find an email program. Under LinuxPPC, I used
XFMail, and it is OK, but brocken on debian, plus I think that there is
something better out there. Yes, I could go back to pine, but I would

as well. A
