Re: Install Grief/Powermac 9500

I answered your other post, but the key here is not to navigate to rescue.bin, but instead to navigate to somewhere above the powermac folder. In your case this would be just your disk root level. Then the installer searches all the folders at that level to find the rescue.bin within the proper fo

What made the installer happy for me, was to use the Browse mode to list all the directories on my Mac hard disk. My folder structure looked like: HD /debian /current base2.2.tgz /powermac drivers.tgz /images-1.44 root.bin etc. The installer allowed me to dr

Installing on oldworld powerbook

I'm trying to get 2.2r2 installed on a PowerBook 3400c. I wiped the disk & installed a minimal install of MacOS 8.1, leaving the rest of the disk unpartitioned for linux. I've read many, many snippets of information on installing, but no detailed instructions. And they all assume you know MacOS.

I've connected to ftp for downloading Debian disk images, I see two files named "binary-powerpc-1_NONUS" and "binary-powerpc-1" what kind of differences are between these img ? I'm italian, I must download the first ?
