The file is 1489688 bytes, while the floppy size is 1474560, so it is 15128 bytes to huge. I had a quick look at the floppy pkg-lists, but i couldn't see anything obvious to move around to another floppy, maybe the the socket modules could move to the net-drivers floppy or something, but that is about it, and i think socket-modules is empty right now anyway. So, it would be very nice if someone with knowledge of the floppies would take a look and see where we can gain those 15128 bytes, maybe removing one of the console maps (we have usb and at, but oldworld only have adb keymaps, not sure what it maps to though), and also add the bit of code Frans mentioned the x86 floppies already have for failing if the image size is bigger than a floppy. I searched for it in config/i386, but failed to find anything that did something like this.

I have no idea why this is or what I can do about it, but at least I have a wireless connection now.

Hmm It's exiting me It has an Intel (x86) processor so it is completely completely off-topic on the debian-powerpc list. Take benchmarks with a pinch of salt (although it is likely much faster, mostly because of the huge increase in memory bandwdith, it's sad that no G4 processor ever had a faster or dual edge data bus). For example, you'll never get the factor of 4 on RC5.

I suggest you ask that elsewhere According to a posting from one of the darwin developer lists, the new Intel based macs use EFI for booting. So anything that made macs what we KNEW as macs (i.e. Open Firmware and PowerPC CPUs) are now gone. I suspect that as soon as Intel can manufacture a decent 64-bit competitor to match the Opeteron, the rest of the lines (Power Macintosh and Xserve) will be transitioned to Intel. So any questions on these, and future, macs will be more appropriate to the debian x86, x86-64, and maybe even ia-64 lists (not sure if there are any non-ia-64 EFI machines).
