Missed seeing that page, it looks like PPC is better supported by Debian than I thought.
I haven't tried to install Debian since a Quadra 600 ;)
pdisk compared to a gui Macintosh tool? mac-fdisk is mentioned in the docs.
And the link to the mac-fdisk man page is dead ;(
I have used pdisk from the command line- [EMAIL PROTECTED] chasd]$ rpm -qf /sbin/pdisk pdisk-0.8-1b
It is also available with a Classic GUI wrapper.
I usually format/partition with DriveSetup, then change the partition types with pdisk.
This http://cantaforda.com/cfcl/eryk/linux/pdisk/ says that mac-fdisk is a old version of pdisk.
and on a the "Questions and Answers about pdisk" page there is this comment-
" used linux before can't I just use fdisk?
Nope. fdisk uses the Wintel/DOS style partitioning, a completely different scheme. "
