Hi All,
Well, I'll try this one more time. How do I get debian linux ver 2.2 to
load onto a 6500/250. I can't figure it out. It won't boot from a cd, and
I don't see any application to make boot disks. I am fairly new to macs, so
maybe I'm missing something. But if anyone has had any luck out

I've just installed Debian Potato (grabbed the ISO images from linuxiso.org)

anything. I get an Afterstep login screen and the mouse pointer in the

Hi,
I just got debian gnu linux power pc ver 2.2. I have used linux on x86
machines for several years. But I am new to macs, and I can't figure out
how to install linux on my powerpc 6500/250. It has 32 megs of ram and a
4gb hard drive. I was thinking of using this mac only for linux, if there
I compiled the previous prerelease. I deleted it later. The only thing I
found is that when compiling the mozilla component you have to add
IIRC -fno-rtti and -fno-exceptions to the CFLAGS.

Hi, I've got a weird problem with PPP connections that's beginning to baffle

I've got an iBook that I've never, until now, initiated a PPP connection

dbootstrap does not install X, it only takes care of creating

Hi,
How to resume installation in dbootstrap if it is interrupted by crash of
X Windows, for example?
Thanks.
Hi,
dbootstrap in Potato has known bug, it "forget" to install some default
packages. Is updated dbootstrap available? I do not boot dbootstrap from
CD anyway, so I can use updated version.
Dang, this arrived with perfect timing! Get it, timing? See my [lengthy] next
post for details. I'm still composing it.

Important side-note: control video hardware as initialized by OF is
