Hi Jim,
Whoever told I was a guru was lying ;-)
If I was you, and if nobody has any more useful advice, I would try
downloading the full Sarge CDs, instead of the net install. I think you only
need the first 2.
Anyone else got a better idea for this guy to get Debian installed?
BTW Jim, you
Maybe someone else can answer more authoritatively, but I seem to recall
reading somewhere that it can't be done. You have to use a key on the
keyboard :-(
Anyone know something we don't?

Congratulations! How do you like it? I'm not sure if this will fix your
scroll wheel or not but I think you need this in the mouse section of your
XF86Config-4:

Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Okay, your first step is to try to start X and see if it works ;-)
As a normal user (not root), type startx. You'll probably get an error saying
"no display found" or "mouse device not present" or something like that.
Then we'll know what we gotta fix in your XF86Config-4.

You need to install X-Windows. Lucky for you, you're using Debian so it's as
easy as this:
apt-get update; apt-get install x-window-system
Then try startx again and tell us what errors you get.

First step is to figure out what kind of sound card you have, then use modconf
to enable appropriate modules for your card.

After spending countless hours fine-tuning my new Debian SID
install, now my Powerbook won't boot in to Linux :-(
Everything was fantastic -- sound, sleep, kde 3.2.3,
everything! But then I got curious and tried to apt-get
install mol. It installed the 2.4.25 kernel along with it
Hey Thanks Guys!
Typing "old" before the kernel loaded boots me back into my
old kernel and works great. So now I'll play around with
making sure I've got a kernel with a matching mol module
and see if I can get that working.
Thanks again for saving my installation!

Well... I dunno about "horrors" ;-) I think people tend to overstate these
things about Debian installation. The thing is, it won't auto-detect your
hardware. So that just means you have to edit your XF

I think pbuttonsd obsoletes pmud -- because it also provides power mgmt
including sleep/wake, etc.
There's another little gui program you'll want to download to simplify
setting up your power mgmt prefs with pbbuttonsd but I can't remember what
it's called.

Use PHPMyAdmin to export your db to a file on your HD. Then burn that

Firestarter is the very nicest GUI firewall I've seen. Just check the
boxes for ports you want enabled/disabled,
vice about installing SID to a TiBook (especially a 550)?
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have a working XF86Config for one of the old 550 MHz TiBooks yoiu
could post for me?
So far I'm loving the PPC debian, but how to detect my monitor/video card and
get X11 going?
Thanks!

Hmm.. thanks Tim.. it helps. But doesn't anyone out there have a Ti550 or 667
so I can see the video section of XF86Config? Perty pleez?

I apt-get installed pmud, and it started. But when I type sleep or close the
lid, it just keeps running -- same after restart.
TiBook 550
Debian PPC (from sarge beta4 installer)
KDE 3.2.2
How should I troubleshoot this? Is there a kernel module I'm missing?
