I think you're looking for the woody installation manual for powerpc, at <LI><a href="http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/doc/install.en.html">Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 For PowerPC</a> It has details about how to boot the install system without floppies, creating a special bootstrap partition, etc. etc. Yes, after you get the base system installed you can install other packages; if you install woody your sources will already be set to testing. -- *----------------------------------------------------------------* | .''`. | Debian GNU/Linux: <http://www.debian.org> | | : :' : | debian-imac: <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | `. `'` | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | `- | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------*
