Potato CD image for PowerPC!

Is the current release of "binary-powerpc-1.iso" bootable? Actually I tried to install Debian Linux 2.2 into RS/6000 43P. But I failed to boot and install it from CD.

Ag, evil. If you plan to use busybox upgrade to .46 there are some serious problems with .45 in regards to tar and nfs. On Wed, 16 Aug 2000, Frank Smith wrote: > > Hi Ben, > > Ben Armstrong wrote: > > > anywhere else in Debian? It's curious that busybox isn't packaged > > separately. > > A

re:list archives/X server setup

Hello I can not tell you how to look through the listarchives other than the lists.debian.org webpage. However I had a similar problem on my old ppc 5500/225. I tried every setting possible on anXious, gave up got back to linuxppc2000 and found out that it uses Xpmac.rage128.usb.rev9 instead of XF6
