| 00:06.02 | genbie | does debian install on apple G5 without any problems plz? |
| 00:06.34 | Curalton | hmm, it works albeit without fan control atm. nothing for a beginner though :) |
| 00:07.05 | genbie | curalton thx well if it works then why not for a beginner? |
| 00:07.36 | genbie | so are gentoo and ydl the only ones working atm?? |
| 00:08.06 | Curalton | there is no easy PPC installer atm for the G5 due to the SATA disk |
| 00:08.21 | Curalton | at least none that i am aware of.. |
| 00:08.30 | genbie | curalton ok thx.. when do you think one will be available? |
| 00:08.52 | genbie | curalton you mean none other than ydl and gentoo? |
| 00:09.15 | Curalton | i'm not aware how far these distros are |
| 00:09.34 | Curalton | you might want to install ydl and then convertit into a debian system |
| 00:09.35 | genbie | OK |
| 00:10.55 | Curalton | or install these in paralell and then chroot from one system into the other |
| 00:11.10 | Curalton | err, since you can't install debian you'll have to copy it rather |
| 00:11.19 | genbie | OK |
| 00:11.28 | genbie | thax curalton |
| 00:12.03 | Curalton | np - maybe also search the debian ppc mailinglist |
| 00:12.21 | Curalton | i don't own a G5 (unfortunately) and this is only as much as i know |
| 00:12.45 | Curalton | maybe someone has created a G5 installcd already? |
| 00:13.07 | genbie | maybe! |
| 00:13.36 | Curalton | anyhow - nice you prefer linux to OS X on such a fine piece of hardware :) |
| 00:14.09 | genbie | lol... i dont have it yet btw!! |
| 00:14.36 | Curalton | but i guess you'll dualboot :) |
| 00:14.52 | genbie | yes maybe :) |
| 00:15.41 | genbie | curalton you have experience with other distros? |
| 00:15.49 | genbie | not necessarily ppc distros |
| 00:16.17 | Curalton | http://groups.google.com/groups?q=linux.debian.ports.powerpc is the list btw |
| 00:17.05 | Curalton | not really. i'd know how to operate them but for me its Debian on all the x86 and the one PPC hardware i can get my hands on (not even necessarily own ;) |
| 00:17.28 | genbie | thx fo rthe list curalton |
| 00:18.21 | Curalton | just select "Search only in linux.debian.ports.powerpc" and enter G5 and in no time you know more than me about this issue :) |
| 00:18.42 | genbie | yes thats what i did :0 |
| 00:18.55 | genbie | great resource! |
| 00:21.29 | genbie | thx curalton for your help..see you later |
| 00:21.38 | Curalton | :) |
