I find "skipstone" is most intriguing... it's
mozilla-based, but does not come with such a
bloated interface.

Geez, I would first try booting from the CD and doing an install the
real way. It's about a billion times easier than all this. If you
boot off the CD, the kernel chokes when trying to mount the
ramdisk? I certainly hope not. I drool at the thought of a dual
G4.

I'm trying to get Debian installed on a Power Computing PowerWave
604/132 (circa 1995) with a Sonnet Crescendo/PCI G3 accelerator [1]
(circa 1999). Some months ago I successfully installed and ran
Yellow Dog Linux 1.0 on this same hardware configuration and used
BootX to dual-boot with MacOS.

Just to follow up to myself, I've upgraded to woody and installed pmud.
With the patch at http://penguinppc.org/~trini/pmud_0.7-3-ibook2.patch
applied and using a 2.4 kernel from BenH's rsync with some other minor changes
which should be in soon (so screen works and the right features are picked)
