delete key (may be marked with a left pointing arrow)
a language dependent key that sends a printable character -- or maybe
the top part of a

No, I don't search a shortcut, but a key on the keyboard to delete texte.
There is no one on my keyboard.
I don't have these machine. But as I can see on screenshots on the net,
there is a "delete" key just above "Return", as usual on macs. There
doesn't seem to be a "Suppr" key, as there isn

There is a good wiki page on this topic:
https://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard
In worst case you could edit /etc/default/keyboard directly, and then
reboot to be sure that the changes take effect.

The machine has a PowerPC processor, it cannot run Intel code. You
would need a PowerPC CD image.
Open Firmware understands a Mac style partition table and an HFS file
system. Those are present on the PowerPC Install CD images (hybrid
CDs, they contain an ISO9660 file system as well).

I don't remember any PowerPC Macs that wouldn't allow me to enter Open
Firmware. (The early beige series machines, G3 and below, sent the
output to serial port, not screen, by default. It was possible to
change once you got there.)
Some machines require accurate timing to get into Open Firmware. T
Try holding down the (also called ) key while booting. That may
give you a screen with various options for booting. One of them may be useful.
I don’t have a Mac Porwebook to try it on, but it works on my G4 desktop
machine.
If you can get it to boot from a CD/DVD/USB-stick into the Debian i

If the cd is stuck in the CD drive that's internal to your G4 you should be
able to boot to Open Firmware and use the following command at the OF prompt.
eject cd
