I just installed Debian Etch from a recent netinst image. The system
works fine, with just one exception: I can't see my firewire HDD. The

Hi Brian,
no offense ment, but I think a good idea is to read the installation
manual. I've done Debian installations on several machines, Oldworlds,
mostly, and from what I read so far I think that installing Debian on
a Newworld machine such as yours should be pretty straight forward.

Hi Robin,
I'm using standard PC cards (USB, Firewire, Network Interface) with my
Umax Pulsar without any problem - and this includes OS X. As a
guideline, you should make sure that the card (or chipset) is
supported by Linux in general, and that the code required is part of
the mainstream kernel.
Hi Turbo,
I don't own a PegasOS, but I have some experiences with OF-based
machines. I wonder if you ever tried to reset the OpenFirmware using
the "set-defaults" command. This will reset everything, including some
variables that can result in some nasty effects. real-base and
load-base for exampl
Hi,
what information do you need specifically? From the users point of
view there is no difference between NFS v3 and NFS v4. And I'm not
aware of any error/problem on PPC. When you're in a restrictive
environment, v4 is definetely for you because it just uses one port,
namely 2049 for the nfsd.

I remember that I had problems specifying the correct values for a

Hello Sven,
thank you for your answer.
I thought that quik should be able to work with a dedicated

your machine is definetly a CHRP one, so there is no use in following
