All,
Thanks for your responses. I will redo my installation of Debian on
my machine this weekend. Before I get started tomorrow evening
(assuming my wife lets me) I'll compile a list of things that I should
be doing and mail the list. That way I'm on the same page as everyone
else.

Good choice. I have tried several other Linux Distributions that claim to work
with my OldWorld PowerMac 9500 but Debian has proved to be the best.

Hi!
From what I can see here, you did everything right (a couple of

success. The sto

Not yet, sorry. First the boot-floppies must work. After this i know (hopefully)
how to setup the different powerpc subarchs. But i need also testers!!!
Currently one for pmac and one for prep
Is there a faq or a howto or some other resource I can find on how to
install debian ppc? Thank you.

That's exactly where I got stuck last night. Eventually, I found an old
Since the webpages are out-of-date, I read through the mailing list
archives as best I could.
This is what I've been able to accomplish:
I'm using a Power Mac G3/266 with 192M RAM with two external SCSI drives
attached.
I installed LinuxPPC (RedHat-based) on the small external 500M drive (sdc).
Excuse me, but I don't speak english very well.
I have the files ramdisk.image.gz, base2_1.tgz and BootX; how can I install
debian on my G3/233 ?
Thanks to all, Domenico

that should be more than enough. eventually, if they are networked you could
even nfs share most of the stuff.
(one 50-100MB partition for root and all individual stuff, then you can share
the rest.)
