Anyway as the title says, this concerns setting up a Power Mac G4 as a wireless

I've never done this but if you're using an Open firmware based machine can you
not compile your own kernel and boot off it to install?
Here are the relevant sections of the Etch install manual

There is a known bug in Gstreamer that only affects non-Altivec PowerPC
machines. You need to get upgraded libvisual packages from here:

This worked for me.

I'm having the same problems with VLC in Etch. I'd recommend MPlayer instead.
MPlayer plays everything. You might need to set the correct video and audio
out in the options though.

Hello everyone,
by now you're probably mostly familiar with the trials and tribulations I faced
moving to a new architecture but there is one thing that is really annoying me!
I have NTPD running synced to four servers here in the UK and one in France
which works fine. The correct time is show
Are you running a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel? Sarge does have a 2.6 kernel avaiable I
would try that first before anything else.

Hello there,
I don't know how useful this is for you but I'm going to send it anyway. I can
confim that the gstreamer-0.10 bug was present on my system using the Debian
kernel 2.6.18-3. The libvisual package you supplied corrected the problem.
System Specs:
iBook G3 12.1" 700 MHz
640 MB RAM
Hello again everybody,
everything is working fine now but for one incredibly annoying thing -
accidentally touching the touchpad while typing! I've read up on it and tried
two things in the 'synaptics section' of the xorg.conf file.
1. added: "SHMConfig" "on". Syndaemon still said that share
I meant iBook in this message not Powerbook. It's an iBook G3 700 MHz that
I've got.

I used the Mac OSX partitioner to do the current set up, I wanted to make sure
that OSX could see the partitions properly.

I am new to the PPC platform after having use either Debian or Ubuntu on X86
