OK, maybe not. I don't see it listed in the All Packages listing of
unstable or testing (which takes forever to download by the way).

Dont know if any of you on this list would be interested,
but I have debian and a modified 2.4 kernel installed on my
old nubus machine (7100/66AV). Runs great with stable and

instructions.

That's just not true. The rescue floppy is not meant to be booted off
of on this architecture at all.
Welcome to the powerpc boot floppy fiasco. The rescue floppy will
only work on New World macs, and yours is an old world. The

old world macs for install purposes, but it has a keyboard issue and

Hallo Kenney,
The boot-floppies are indeed for all architectures.
But for this question, debian-powerpc is a better place to ask.

Hi,
I'd know a way... the same way that the fbdev drivers use.
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep machine to see what i mean
FBDev has an advantage on Xfree for this, it runs inside the kernel and
therefore knows what type of machine it's running on.
Hope this helps

I haven't heard anything to the contrary. And you think I as the Debian
maintainer of pmud would have heard it first if pmud was removed from the

BTW it should be in unstable.

well you researched the other problems (congrats! :). You need

So far, my attempt of installing Debian 2.2.18pre21 has been
