Hi!

I also think that this problem should not serve as a reason for a delay of Squeeze.

Yet, ideally an experienced PowerPC Debian developer should have a close look at the Debian installer and related programs to find out why after a Debian installation it is crucial to reboot with a Mac OS 9 installation CD and use it to update the HDD's driver another time, just to still be able to use a Mac OS 9 already installed on a different disk partition.

I even fear unexperienced users might be unable to rescue their Mac OS data, be it by simply updating the HDD's driver or (as Debian supports HFS file systems) by using Debian GNU/Linux.

If I write a few lines about this issue, is there a chance of getting this into the PPC manual for installations of Debian on Power Macintosh computers?

Last week Mr Wittau contacted me; he stated that he wanted to try the installations again and that he intended to report back.

Kind regards,

Sebastian Schroeer
