APT

HI! I have a trouble about installing Debian PPC potato 2.2. In: Debian Config, at APT Configuration, I get this message: "Bad CD Your CD drive was detected, but it does not seem to have a Debian CD in it." and, When I typed "apt-cdrom add", show this: "Found Label 'Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 "

RE: Booting your PowerMac (from the HD, without MacOS)

I have a G3 Powerbook (wallstreet) and a WaveLan Turbo card. It seems that there is a way to make this work with the Airport from what I can see in archives, but it looks complicated. Are there any explicit instructions anywhere? Josh.
