HELP!
I am currently working with Debian (Potato) to try and install on an
old-world 7200 PCI machine. After a few hours, I have been able boot into
Linux and partition the drive; however, when I try and format and mount the
partitions, the SCSI drive (/dev/sda) sometimes falls off the select

I haven't tried but I can't think of a reason why G4 machines would behave
different from G3 ones WRT USB.
Is this true for G3's also?

Yep, I've got something with the help of the almighty Geert Uytterhueven, I

Hi again,
I followed Michel's advice and installed nearly flawlessly the XFree 4.0.1
