4.0x libraries

I have just added this to the -lib- readme of my experimental tarballs: *WARNING* Badly written software may not work with these libraries, specifically Motif makes assumptions about Xt internals which aren't correct anymore. If you experience problems, try downgrading to older libraries.

6500 won't boot from floppy

Hi, I have a PowerMac 6500/250 that I would like to put Debian on. I made a floppy of the hfs boot disk containing the miboot loader from 06072000 and attempted to boot my 6500. The floppy drive attempts to read the disk but then ejects it and continues booting from the hard drive. I replaced t

G4, debian, and Cinema Display
