Hello,
Since my PowerBook died (logic board failure), I no longer have a
PowerPC machine to work on. So I'm putting yaboot-installer up for
adoption.
If you'd like to give it some love and contribute to debian-installer,
let me know.
Thanks!

A while ago, it was decided that PowerPC, like most other
architectures, would use the 2.2 kernel. However, this kernel simply

Isn't there a way to prevent MacOS from asking questions like that? I
would suggest to download the source code and fix the bug

ptex-bin is non-free, so the autobuilders ignore it. If you care
