I forgot this - no idea whether it's important: Yaboot (?) says after booting someth. like this: "Warning: Bootstrap partition type is wrong: "Apple_HFS" type should be "Apple_Bootstrap"" > > > Oh: what X environment for this very old, but still working > > machine, is recommendable: I thought about some minimal X, > > extremely lightweight.

Wayland actually uses *less* resources than X, much less. > [ ... ] The "less reources" part sounds promising - but the rest: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F27_bugs#Wayland_issues And no: I don't want to start a debate about wayland here .... ;) And for the archives: I used this fine manual for usb booting the installer: it's around five years old but here it worked: https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2012/08/msg00042.html The only "pain" on OF was finding '@' ':' and '\' on the qwertz keyboard. IIRC: '@' --> <shift>-'2' ':' --> <shift>-'รถ' '\' --> "#" sign Thanks a lot to everyone involved for the ppc ports installer Regards Wolfgang -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
