I managed to write yaboot to the Apple_Bootstrap partition so
that it boots linux off of the hard drive. It's starting to
make sense to me now.
Unfortunately, I cannot boot into MacOS unless I command-option-o-f
into open firmware and explicitly

This is despite the fact t
I recently tried to install sawmill on a debian-stable system,
but dselect complained that sawmill depends upon rep, which depends
upon librep5, which appears to not be available.
I've tried this from several different mirrors now, all with the same

Does anybody know the right way to sa

more concretely: if i have a whole lot of files (like a minimal

Thanks to your timely mini-howto, I managed to install debian
on the iMac with the flakey cdrom/cdrom-drive problem I posted
about last night. There was only one thing that definately
needs to be corrected in the document: where you suggest looking
at /var/log/daemon.log to get the MAC address,
