There are several around, so you might want to try one of these:

ftp://ftp.proxa
I can use Forte for java with JDK ppc porting ?
I haven't tried it yet, but I think I've found mentioned, that it
works only for Sun's JDK (that is on x86 and sparc). I think it's
worth a try, so please let me know about your findings.

Well,
If I got the basic discussion right, there is no JDK for debian
available yet. The maintainer of JAVA-related packages has IMHO a
somewhat dogmatic approach to the debian policy of distributing only
free software. So he is reluctant to make the ported JDK available.
Which brings me to th

what's up? Your postings get an increasingly sour note. Up to

(not even mine)...
But back to business. I get confused by people reporting bootX working on

Thanks for the line. Would it be too much to ask for a meaningful .config
for a PowerBook-kernel?
Thanks

Hi,
from looking at the various pages on airport/wavelan, I got that there
have been only few problems lately, so none was updated.
I'd like to change to 2.4 but would hate to loose my airport connection.
Could anyone provide me with helpful comments for building my own kernel
w/ airport support?
Hi,
I just did my usual apt-get update apt-get upgrade for my pismo on
testing and to my delight, 4.0.2 went into testing. Subsequently I
went into several problems:
First, I had to install manually xserver-xfree86 using dpkg. This
took me a while to discover, since dselect marked it as inst
Hi,
once again: are any jdk-debs for powerpc in the pipeline or will any
current jdk still require manual installation in the near future? I'm
especially interested in the dependency resolution for the
tomcat/cocoon packages in unstable. Most of them are resolved only
for i386-systems.

Hi,
can someone familiar with this matter summarize the current status of the
jdk-packages for powerpc? I run testing and just installed tomcat and
cocoon of the jakarta-project by hand. I also installed the blackdown
J2SDK 1.3 which is said to have a .deb but all I could find was an
i386-deb, so
For various urges, I'd like to do a dist-upgrade to testing, but postings on
this list indicates, that testing is broken for powerpc.
I didn't see any... have you tried it?
jep, now I did and apart from one wmaker dependency-problem
everything worked fine.
Problem is, wmaker is still .6

Hi Bruce,
since I eventually figured out how to dual-boot my PowerBook with MacOS 9 and
Debian, I'm quite satisfied with what I got. I use Debian mainly for development
work and MacOS for anything else.
As for power management, I currently don't use it, as it's not readily available
for stable and
Wow,
that's helpful! But, where in which readme.file is this information?
And: using option-command-o-f, then

I know, this gets more and more a 'compile for dummies' but I hope that

That's my point: From my x86-Linux experience, I used to make ln -s

With debian-powerpc I had to change an entry in one of the files located in

Hi,
I just installed Debian quite successfully on my PowerBook (FW/12G/256M,
kernel 2.2.15pre14-ben1). Even if it runs fine, I feel that there might be
room for improvment. So if you have any hints and tips, I'd be glad get
mail from you. Maybe there's a mailing list archive you can point me to.
