I'm installing on a C500 right now too. Since I couldn't get the
boot floppies to work, I'm using the same methodology I used for my
7200:

Except I'm using an old OS 7.6 as the base OS for the Mac parition
instead of the 7.5.3 I mention in the above message (I've upgraded my
hard drive and my cd-rom from the factor C500 so the system CD that
came with it doesn't work anymore).
I'm just repartitioning now to get rid of a 2 year old LinuxPPC
install that was on there.

I know this was covered in the list in the past but searching the posts got
me nowhere as to actually solving the problem. I'm trying to install Debian
onto a UMAX C500 using the floppy images. The problem is the keyboard
locking up. I know someone posted how to fix this when you're already in
Linux, but nothing on fixing it from MacOS. I also thought there was a link
to a working version, but it had the same problem.
If anyone out there has the working (which I guess means old?) version of
the boot floppy image, I'd greatly appreciate a heads up as to where I can
find it. Or another fix that I can perform in MacOS.
Thanks much,
Ben
