Hi Ben,
Is this needed for the build or can it be built and JDK added later ?
The JDK is needed for a full normal build of OOo but Debian and others
use patches to disable Java since Java itself is not free. Much of the
functionality is present without the need for Java.
Actually, my ques

Hi Ben,
The old JDK is the one I use with OOo. I know that work is still
ongoing at Blackdown for PPC Linux since Sun expressed some interest in
it recently (but not enough to actually find me to do it) so I have

might be able to finish a sarge new d-i installation using

Ron,
You don't need to mess with floppies. BootX, which you are already
using, works just fine -- and it handles kernels and ramdisk images that
are too big for a floppy. Once you get into the debian installer, you
will discover that it insists on trying to install the "yaboot"
bootloader, which

You need BootX, as you have found out. You also need to make sure that
your MacOS partition is HFS, not HFS+, so that you can copy updated
kernels to it while running Linux.

Hi Sven,
The only way I could start the installation is by
using your kernel + initrd of 2.4.25 - from there it
goes to network installation. I didn't try to hack it
to install from the offical Woody CDs I got and I was
quite happy that it installs at all.

I don't like the idea of lm-sensors mucking with the i2c
