I think the other poster was right about Apple_HFS and HFS+. In any case, it sounds like your setup should work now. Thanks to Chris and Brad for pointing this out. So I reckon that means there's no way to distinguish or create an HFS+ partition using pdisk? Which debian-imac release are you using, the 2.2 or 3.0? Perhaps there's been some corruption of the yaboot binary or something. The installation instructions pointed me to a .sit archive at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/debian-imac/debian-imac.sit; that site doesn't say what release it is, and I'm not at the Mac at the moment to read any ReadMe's, etc. The installation instructions also point to http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-powerpc/current/ to get the files individually, so I reckon it's the stable/potato release. I'll know more Monday when I get back to the Mac. When you dragged the 4 files, you put them on the disk icon for the Shared partition, not on the desktop, right? Yes. I dragged the whole debian-imac folder to the MacShared icon, then opened the MacShared icon, opened the debian-imac folder, opened the copy these files to the root of hard disk (or something similar) folder, grabbed all four files, and copied them (not moved - I used Alt-ClickHoldDrab, or Command-, or whatever the proper key is that does a copy instead of a move) to the open MacShared icon, which would be equivalent (I believe) to dropping them onto the MacShared icon from the desktop. Thanks for the response, Chris Brad! Any more info that anyone can help with would be appreciated. Monday, I'll try copying the files down manually from the alternative site mentioned above and try with those. Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Kernel branch recommendation for xfs filesystem support?
Hi, I want to use xfs on my ppc, but I was wondering what important stuff I would be missing from the -benh branch. If I use the linux2.4-xfs cvs repository at SGI, should I expect problems with powerpc? I have a 1st gen TiBook. -- David Stanaway signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
ctrl:swapcaps not working
This might be an X specific question rather than a mac keyboard specific one, but I'm not sure where else to start looking for answers. For some reason, adding XkbOption ctrl:swapcaps # from memory to the appropriate place in my XF86Config-4 doesn't do the right thing on this (tiBook) keyboard; ctrl becomes capslock, but capslock doesn't act like ctrl. xev shows the ctrl keycode event being generated, but the capslock key seems not to stay held down. My guess is that there's a keyboard management layer under X that treats capslock specially. Is there any way to work around this? Or is there a way to remap these keys at the console level that affects their behaviour in X as well? I've done this on an x86 box before, but I'm very new to linux on ppc.
