Hi all I've a dual boot, osx/debian (ibook 12' 1.2ghz) and need reinstall osx. Of course, i don't want to reinstall debian too. I've found this (thanks binzhang): http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.ports.powerpc/browse_thread/thread/bd1f76e0daba307c/ff7254851521d267?q=restore+yaboot&lnk

Harold, I didn't find an initrd.img, I found an initrd.gz and an initrd.info - .info complains not a valid ramdisk, .gz gives me a blank screen. Could you double check the names off the CD? Will try .gz again, renaming to ramdisk.image.gz. In the meantime, can someone find the woody directory for

Jeffrey,   You have what is referred to these days as an "OldWorld", a Mac that has a particular architecture which (currently) requires the use of a piece of software called BootX in order to boot into Linux.  (In the near future, it's possible you'll be able to boot and install Linux using anothe

Hi Simon,I know, it's seems like an odd post.  I've no programming experience to contribute to the debian-powerpc project; thus far I've only been able to test the results of programmers' efforts, such as by installing the latest (or past) kernels on my OldWorld PowerBook.  So how can I contribute?
