hi again,
um, i'm installing debian on a bunch of starmaxen (starmaxes ?) - mostly
3000s, i think there's a 4000, and i managed to get debian going on one
of them (after *many* reboots, and a whole bunch of stuff), i am now
stuck trying to figure out the video OF setting. ATM it's set to
append
any information that isn't on debian's PPC ports pages, or isn't penguinppc's
site, or info gathered in the course of experimenting, administering, etc.
