Re: [mkoz@umich.edu: Debian PPC disks]

This begs a question - what's the status of the Debian-ppc boot-floppies? Do they work now? Because if not, I don't think we want these people demonstrating the half-install LinuxPPC, untar base, write /etc/init.d/network yourself, reboot, hit lots of snages trying to get apt to work (needs perl

Thanks for any tips - I'm trying to pick between the two, or look at another, and Linux/PPC support would be a real deciding factor. -Kevin Puetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
