Newbie question about X and powerbooks

Hi. After some playing around I got my powerbook (G4 500) to boot into linux. I'm using the video=ofonly option, and X doesn't seem to work, which I assume is normal (i.e. some kind of text-only driver has been specified). If I don't have a video=something option, or if I use video=aty128fb or v

How to build a (Python 2.2) Debian Package

Do I loose control when I install from source without making a .deb-package? Is it difficult to build a Debian Package from Source? I look for a good Howto. I need Python2.2 for Vpython. Has someone packed it already? Thanks -- * Gerhard Reuteler

Seeking OpenFirmware+Floppy-Boot Advice

Hello list. I'm trying to install Debian on an OldWorld 9600 'Kansas' PowerMac. I should probably say: I've been trying to try to install... I can't seem to get this machine to boot up from the Rescue floppy. So, my first question is: *can* my model of machine boot from floppy at all
