I was successfully able to install Debian 11 to a 266MHz Beige G3 (Old World)
using the 2020-10-06 NETINST image[1]
Because this is an Old World machine, I copied the initrd and kernel from the
CD to my System boot volume, and loaded them using BootX 1.2.2. Note that the
initrd in the ISO below
Thank you for the detailed explanation Adrian, I will definitely find
someway in contributing to this project!

Hi Adrian,
In my understanding these rollouts are built from certain config sets. Just
wondering, does that mean the fix you pushed to 2020-04-19 is not
permanent? Or is there anything else that possibly changed that caused a

I tried installing sid_d-i in expert mode so I could get it to install
Sid versions of the yaboot-related stuff.
No go.
I filed an installation report with a full set of logs. Bug#636269
In contrast to Jeroen's report that "Wheezy installation went fine on

I just tried the sid_d-i "testing" daily businesscard. (details of

I tried booting the same disc on a PowerMac G4 (mirrored door) and got a white

I tried this on the same G5 with mostly the same results. I've
