Cool; that would be much appreciated. BTW, I mistyped the original URL; it's actually at http://penguinppc.org/~walters/debian/installer-current/ Thanks, but as Matt says it doesn't work yet... The basic layout was fine, but I couldn't type 'special' symbols like |. I suspect it was the sg map (for a PC keyboard), not mac-usb-de_CH. Ahh. If your keyboard isn't in the US layout, that would explain the difference. My knowledge about console keymaps and such is very close to zero, so I hope someone else can fix this... Well, in general you simply want the mac-usb variant if it exists or the standard PC one otherwise. Maybe that's already done but the inconsistent naming for the Swiss German keymaps (sg vs. mac-usb-de_CH) causes the wrong one to be used there? -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Well, the custom keymaps might not work but the installer itself does.

Michel, if you wouldn't mind testing the partitioning code in the installer at http://penguinppc.org/~walters/debian/installer-cvs on your pismo, I'd appreciate it. The keymap I chose wasn't for a Mac. I think the new-powermac flavour should at least offer Mac keymaps by default. This is very strange. I just picked the default keymap (I can't remember what it was called), and it worked fine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
