Ron,
You don't need to mess with floppies. BootX, which you are already
using, works just fine -- and it handles kernels and ramdisk images that
are too big for a floppy. Once you get into the debian installer, you

They are actually very very close. In fact, you can actually use
symlinks to fool OOo to accept the IBM JDK and then go ahead and use
it.
Once I reboot into PPC Linux I will dig up what symlinks I added and
send them to you and you can use them temporarily until I get the

Hi Ben,
Is this needed for the build or can it be built and JDK added later ?
The JDK is needed for a full normal build of OOo but Debian and others
use patches to disable Java since Java itself is not free. Much of the
functionality is present without the need for Java.
Actually, my

Sorry to butt in, but Woody installs just fine on Old World Macs using boot
floppies and BootX and you can apt-get dist-upgrade to Sarge. I have a Mac
