Hi all, Just thought you'd like to know that I downloaded the 7 CDs for Debian 3.0 PPC (6 Discs and 1 "NON-US Disc 1") tonight (God bless night classes at local education establishments with their 8Mbit connections :D) and I'll be giving them a shot shortly. I also got NetBSD for PPC for good measure. If anyone is interested, drop me a line off-list and I'll burn some and pop them in the post. Let you know how I get on as soon as I give them a go. First of all I have to retrieve them from the 6Gb drive I take into School with me, since that's the disk I'll be putting in the Mac :D. Cheers all. G.
Me again! All seems to be going well with the Debian PPC install. A few teething problems, but nothing too bad. Boots fine from the floppies supplied on the CDs. Wouldn't recognise the swap or ext2 partitions I created with (mac-)fdisk, at all, in any way shape or form. When I mkfs.ext2ed, however, I was given a stupidly high inode count, which it obviously never reached. Bells started ringing! Anyho, dded /dev/zero to /dev/hda, then badblocked it and all seems to be fine. Install now recognised the partitions I create on it. Yipee. All I have to do now is figure out how to get quik installed and working nicely. Cheers.
