Hi,
I saw in a Linux magazine a procedure to install Yellow Dog Linux on a iMac.
I was trying to apply the same installation procedures with Debian PPC.
The magazine said I need MacOS because Linux kernel need to be instaled
in a Macintosh Partition (HFS) and because BootX need to be installed

I've noticed that the small system speaker is on with my main speakers.
I would like to turn off the small system speaker because it ruins the
