One thing I should have mentioned, is that this boot floppy is NOT appropriate
for doing installations with the 2.2r2 CDs because it uses the 2.2.17 kernel,
which is not what the CDs are configured for. It will work as a sort of a
rescue floppy in conjunction with the root file system floppy in

Hi,
i`m looking for a divx codec for the ppc.
The things I found are not working with
my debian (testing).
xmps needs gtk+1.2.2 or later and the sdl lib 1.1.6 or later
the versions in testing are below of this.
Any clues ?

Hi,
Anyone knows where I can find theme manager for KDE 2.01 (especially for
SuSE Linux 7.0 PPC)?
kthememg.rpm which was in version 6.x does not exist anymore.
Thanks in advance.

Ethan,
what's up? Your postings get an increasingly sour note. Up to
now, I cherished that you were not bothered by the dumbest questions
(not even mine)...
But back to business. I get confused by people reporting bootX working on

Hi,
I think I found something usefull regarding the original boot floppy for

write it and boot it

Hi,
just installed Debian again, and now with the original kernel the pppd

However, when booting, my kernel shows two lines like:

tty01 at 0x3013000 (irq=16) is a 28530 ESCC, port = printer
