Yes, definitely. As I mentioned in a previous message, lots of
things (including dselect) broke when dselect updated the version
of ncurses from our CD-ROM to a version that depended on newer C

This version is somewhat broken (mainly perl and the dbootstrap). It was a
test-upload by me to see if all goes to the right place into the archive.
I'll will upload a new version,
The version I referred to is:

It is apparently a bad build. When adding PReP support, I thought I had
errors but they were all due to the broken base that is available.
Try my potato base at http://master.debian.org/~porter. It is pretty
recent and is well tested o

Hi,
I am trying to install something on top of the base tarball,
but the base system has broken dependencies. I am new with
debian. Any help?
Sergio
... under "common" I found "base2_2.tgz".
I guess it is the one.

Hi,
I am installing the system on my Lombard laptop, but I can
not find the base tarball.
After reaching this directory:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-powerpc/current/
no tarballs are found. What should I do?
Sergio
Timo,
thanks a lot of your reply. Today I am in the business for
for this installation, and I would like to make the miracle.
You said you installed via CD, and that the ethernet is not
working. My ethernet works on LinuxPPC. I applied
"http://www.terraplex.com/~dburcaw/bmac.patch"; to linux-2.
Hi,
is it possible to get from 'somewhere' a snapshot of potato for PowerPC
(PowerMac)? bins and sources?
In September I've holiday and I'd like to play with on an old PM7200.
For downloading the stuff I have to small bandwith 56k modem.
Offers, conditions??
Thanks in advance
Andreas

LinuxPPC 1999 is BootX only because no one had the time to write+test the

hello,
I am wondering if the Debian PPC distribution is going to (or working
on) supporting macos-free Open Firmware booting on a Blue G3 or iMac.
This is what I know so far about booting these machines:
OF requires what Apple calls a "bootfile" this is basically a OF script.

Hi,

Well, I managed to install debian 2.2 (potato) via CDs in July, for
the Lombard G3 powerbook. The system works, but not the internal
ethernet. Perhaps the latest kernel (linux_2_2) source at the vger CVS
repository, see http://cvs.on.openprojects
