What kind of partitions do you have on sda? You need one root and one
swap at least.
I made (in order, if I recall correctly):
250Mb Swap
125Mb Root
125Mb Tmp
500Mb Var
2Gb Usr
remainder (around 1.3Gb I think) Home
And there was the (I think) 32Kb

what kernel? did you compile it yourself? if so it looks very much

Hi,
I'm trying to install debian on a powerbook G4 (titanium).
as the cd is non bootable, I grab the linux kernel and ramdisk.image.gz
from /potato/main/disks-powerpc/2.2.19-2000-12-03/powermac/
to a mac partition of the disk, wich contains yaboot yaboot.conf (edited
and modified)
I'm having trouble downloading the ramdisk installer. (It's really really
slow...) Is there a mirror in the US that has the Installer? thanks.

Quoted from the Book of Paul Kimber Ch 6:7-13 on 3/4/01 8:46 PM:
We now have a working ramdisk installer, so it is now much
easier

No, that CD is bootable. The trick is knowing how to force the G4 titanium

Can you send me your System.map for that kernel?
The linuxcare.com kernels that Paul keeps have changes that he's not ready
