Installing LinuxPPC first is iffy; the transition is a little tricky, but since we don't have a working installer, you may not have a choice. You might be able to get by with the tools on the LinuxPPC rescue disk and a base tarball on a normal HFS partition... If you are going to install LinuxPPC first, I recommend making two ext2 partitions, putting linuxppc on one, putting debian on the other, and then optionally wiping the first to be a data partition. > Thanks, Matthias > > Another question: Currenty there are two HFS+ partitions on the > disk.

More to the point, as of now the kernel only recognizes HFS partitions. Any good drive partitioning software should let you delete one.
