Did you install a 2.6 or 2.4 kernel? The 2.6 kernel requires an

You don't need to mess with floppies. BootX, which you are already

Try:
# aptitude why systemd
That may help answer the question.

The package libssl1.1 seems to have been removed from the powerpc/ppc64
archives.
However the package hfsprogs depends on it.
hfsprogs is vital on powerpc/ppc34 .
Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Wow!
I just did an update -> upgrade on my Power Mac G4 and noticed that it provides
the new kernel version 6.5.0-2 .
This appears to have fixed the panic-on-boot bug in version 6.5.0-1 .
Big thanks for all your efforts!

OK, I stand corrected!
In any case, whatever the number, it seems to be fixed. And that's what's
important!

If your G4 mini is having trouble with the internal hard-drive, you might try
installing to an external FireWire hard drive. Booting from FireWire is a
supported feature of the NewWorld Mac OpenFirmware. While booting from USB is

Take a look at the “fbset” package. With it you can do command line stuff
Hi Peter,
It looks like events have caught up with us. There’s now a 4.5.0 kernel in
Debian testing and strong hints that the kernel in Stretch, when it’s released,
will be based on 4.6. So your reconfigured 4.5.0-rc2 kernel is getting
out-of-date.
Which raises a couple of questions:

And thanks for the hints on doing my own tinkering... It would be fun
if I had the time. Unfortunately, time is something I'm short of right
now.
So, in the interest of getting som

Hi,
When I try to do aptitude full-upgrade on my Stretch Apple G4 PowerMac, I get
conflicts.
These do not seem to be transient — they have been there for several days.
Anybody know what’s going on?
Thanks!
