Re: Installing Debian Lenny on MacMini G4
hi, really a strange situations. Try to boot with a different distro's boot iso (like Gentoo or Crux). So you can understand if it's a problem related to the iso or the cdrom driver. regards, -- Power Mac G4 AGP 450MHz - CRUX PPC (32bit)/DebianPPC Power Mac G5 dual 1.8 PCI-X - CRUX PPC (64bit)/Tiger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Perhaps we should kill the snd-* madness in Debian (at least)? Does
snd-aoa* actually work for a majority of users?
It is my understanding that snd-powermac works for more users (almost
all?) of stock apple-based powerpcs and Linux.

Re: Installing Debian Lenny on MacMini G4
Hi there.
I have not yet delved into this thread (packing things to go to the US),
but I could not resist pointing out one thing:

details see (*).
There's this very cool program called dvdisaster, which, among other
things serves quite well the purpose of verifying if a given CD/DVD has
errors.
In the particular case of CDs, it can also give you a very nice idea of
if the medium is going to die or not, showing you how many C2-errors it
has along all the surface etc: http://dvdisaster.net/en/images/good-cd.png
It is packaged for Debian http://packages.debian.org/sid/dvdisaster and
maintained by yours truly. :-)
