Well I have debian woody running nicely on a PowerMac 6500 w/32 MB RAM.
No X windows. I got a good deal on some RAM and I can max it out (128

installed? It appears there's a meta-package for x-window-system which I

Well what I've found seems to help is to execute:
fbset -a -accel false
This (to my understanding) disables hardware framebuffer acceleration.
This has stopped the corrupted characters on my consoles. Is there any
way to do this with boot args?

I'm setting up a PowerMac 6500. Since it only has 32MB RAM I am not going
to run X Windows, but instead plan to use it as a light duty server. I

somewhere and is there a way to specify that I have additional drivers on

Yes, there is an eth0. So maybe I don't need to install a net module at
all. Thanks -- I'll try to proceed.
