That's what I wanted to do and why I got an old one. > Iâm glad to load whatever OS is desired... I used Debian - the network install version for PowerPC, CD/iso http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst Hold down the C key while you power up to boot from the CD. There may be a way to boot from a flash drive, but it seemed simpler to use a real CD. (and I had a CD-writer handy) The install seemed vanilla. It hung late in the process. I forget what it was doing. Eventually, I gave up waiting and tried ^C, or Ctl-Alt-Del. Something worked. It rebooted. -------- I've seen reports that some/all ARMs are bi-endian. There is an instruction to switch. "All" you need to do is slip one in the right place in the boot sequence. I didn't investigate. I think it was from a FreeBSD list. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam.
