I was able to build powerpc last night. To get it to build, I: 1) remove libnewt-pic and slang-pic, install libnewt-utf and slang-utf 2) download the source for bogl-bterm 0.1.8 and build for powerpc (I don't know why that wasn't working last night, but I got some build experience anyway) 3) set LANG_CHOOSER in config 4) change rootdisk.sh to let powerpc in on internationalization But, when I tried to boot it I got the flashing screen stuff. It flashed a few times but came back to print additional lines, the last line it printed before continously flashing was input2: USB HID V0.01 Mouse > Just try again, 3.0.18-2001-12-08 images. I'll do that now and let you know what happens. -- *--v------ Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 For PowerPC -----v----* | <http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks- | | (pause for breath) powerpc/current/doc/install.en.html> | | debian-imac: <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
