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 ;)
Runs ok on a C650, version 2.x was easier than 3.0 for my liking.
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 ;(
Wouldn't know, here's something a paragraph or two down that may be useful. http://penguinppc.org/projects/yaboot/doc/mac-fdisk-basics.shtml Worth a read maybe but not really oldworld?
I have used pdisk from the command line- [EMAIL PROTECTED] chasd]$ rpm -qf /sbin/pdisk pdisk-0.8-1b
There are several ways from the command line.
It is also available with a Classic GUI wrapper.
I usually format/partition with DriveSetup, then change the partition types with pdisk.
Kewl, something to look for. :)
I use drive setup or mdk's partitioning tool and then quit the mdk install.
PPC2000 is handy as the cd works as a boot disk but the version of pdisk (?) it uses is old. I've only ever used hdsc setup on 68k machines.
Thanks for the info about mac-fdisk and pdisk.
