Hello all, I'm trying to do a clean install of potato on my pb3400c. Everything goes well until I try to make linux directly bootable from hard disk, and it says, "installing quik is not yet possible for debian/powerpc." Well, I know it's possible, since I was booting with it before I (stupidly)

Hello world, debian-cd folk: 2.2r1 is final, even if that'll make some of the powerpc and security folk (justifiably) unhappy. If you'd like to update the potato CD images, that'd probably be a good thing. All who're interested: katie (ie, the new dinstall, ie package pools) will be rolled out wh

Strange. I compiled 2.1.96 myself, and aside from a big loop of compilation dependencies (partially caused by my confusion) involving db/lidb, the debs work fine. I can send them to someone if they like. Just so you don't have to look at everything that happened between 2.1.3 and 2.1.97 to see wha
