No you don't have to do that. Read build/README. Basically you have to
copy build/sources.list to build/sources.list.local and edit this file.
Then you have to call make cd_image (patch pending) or make initrd to
build installer images.

Okay, I read that readme again and decided to try it on the basis that
if it works but take a day it mightn't matter too much.
Recipe:
- install the build-dependancies on the host system
I don't know what they are, don't know how to find out so we'll see what
breaks
The build dependencies are listed in build/debian/control.in. One easy way
to have it check for you, is to cp debian/control.in to debian/control,
then in the bulid directory use dpkg-buildpackage -D -b. Although this is
not a normal debian package, you will still get the unsatisfied dependencies
listed. There is also a @UDEB_DEPENDS@ entry, which the make process will
fill in and download later based on your arch and sources.list.local.
- adjust apt sources (create sources.list.local - see sources.list)
Did that.
- run {sudo,fakeroot} make build
Kultarr:~/cvs/bf/debian-installer/build# time make build
Makefile:83: make/arch/linux-powerpc: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `make/arch/linux-powerpc'. Stop.
This is the file that was committed last night.

From what Ive read, these OldWorld powermacs are supposed to boot from CD, but I've not got a CD that does boot on them. CDs are produced by yet another package, debian-cd. It uses mkisofs to create an hfs-hybrid bootable CD, well bootable on NewWorlds anyway. OldWorld powermacs can boot from CD, only if the CD has proprietary MacOS drivers. So Debian CDs don't boot on OldWorlds because there is no free equivalent CD driver (it's MacOS ROM code I believe). You can make an OldWorld bootable, if you want to copy the drivers from a MacOS bootable CD -- but we can't distribute that solution. There is a recipe somewhere, I think in mkisofs docs. BootX is convenient for booting OldWorlds from an existing MacOS installation. -- Debian GNU/Linux Operating System By the People, For the People Chris Tillman (a people instance) [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
