| 01:31.56 | {xmb} | its a script to recognize partition types, idea gotten from knopper's (knoppix) script thats minimalistic, requests from kanotix |
| 01:32.42 | {xmb} | coding base may be the most advanced partition recognize script.. possibility to analyze data <from-byte>-<to-byte> |

I initially wiped the drive, then booted from cd using disk utility to create 2 partitions. I put the Debian partition first, OS X second. I know the number of the Debian partition, but am at the step where I need to use the Debian Installer to repartition the Debian volume and add an 800K Apple_Bootstrap partition and a few other thi |

| 14:01.12 | occy | My nephew(he's 12) emailed me and wants to get Linux on his PPC, he gave me the following specs: mac powerpc G3, 350 Mhz proceser, 128mb ram. Is this enough to ascertain if it's: oldword, newworld or whatever? |
| 14:01.37 | occy | I've never used ppc hardware myself. So I'm quite clueless about it. |
| 14:08.34 | Bor_Ed | if it's beige desktop or tower, oldworld... if transparent case, newworld |
| 14:08.49 | occy | ahh |
| 14:08.58 | occy | he didn't tell me what color the case was :) |
| 14:09.04 | Bor_Ed | hehe |
| 14:09.33 | Bor_Ed | both run linux anyway, booting just is handled differently |
| 14:16.00 | occy | hmm |
| 14:16.16 | occy | is it hard to get it installed with oldworld since you can't boot from a CD |
| 14:16.26 | occy | (as the topic states) |
| 14:21.34 | Bor_Ed | one can use bootx bootloader which loads linux from macos |
| 14:21.44 | Bor_Ed | similar to loadlin in winhoser |
| 14:26.15 | occy | I'm guessing once he ascertains what he has: oldword/newworld, then he can pick the installer text that will guide him through the installation process. |

| 21:14.41 | meheren | i need help with the installation process |
| 21:14.46 | meheren | it's not working |
| 21:14.55 | meheren | the partioning part |
| 21:14.59 | Bor_Ed | aww |
| 21:15.17 | Bor_Ed | are you using the tool the installer suggests? |
| 21:15.27 | meheren | every time i try it fails |
| 21:15.30 | meheren | yes i am |
| 21:16.05 | Bor_Ed | ok... go to the point where you'd run the tool but pick 'execute shell' from the installer instead of 'partition the disk' |
| 21:16.28 | meheren | ok |
| 21:17.41 | meheren | looks like it's going to work thx! |
| 21:17.52 | Bor_Ed | it ain't that easy :) |
| 21:18.05 | meheren | it's stoped just slow i guess |
| 21:18.07 | Bor_Ed | you have to manually partition the disk |
| 21:18.30 | meheren | ok |
| 21:18.33 | meheren | now what? |
| 21:18.43 | Bor_Ed | you got to the shell? |
| 21:19.02 | meheren | i guess |
| 21:19.09 | meheren | what do you mean? |
| 21:19.11 | Bor_Ed | mac-fdisk /dev/hda |
| 21:19.16 | Bor_Ed | ^^ issue that command |
| 21:19.46 | meheren | ok |
| 21:20.20 | Bor_Ed | it's similar to peecee fdisk program... if you have probs with it, feel free to ask |
| 21:20.45 | meheren | alright |
| 21:23.58 | meheren | it says can't open file |
| 21:24.13 | meheren | no such file or directory |
| 21:24.22 | meheren | what should i do/ |
| 21:24.43 | Bor_Ed | hmmm |
| 21:25.16 | Bor_Ed | you're sure you didn't typo the command? |
| 21:25.46 | meheren | this is exactaly what i typed |
| 21:26.10 | meheren | mac-fdisk /dev/hda |
| 21:26.25 | Bor_Ed | try just mac-fdisk |
| 21:26.58 | meheren | bad usage - no device argument |
| 21:27.06 | Bor_Ed | right... |
| 21:27.13 | Bor_Ed | mac-fdisk /dev/sda |
| 21:27.22 | meheren | ok ill try again |
| 21:27.30 | Bor_Ed | should puke |
| 21:27.53 | meheren | nutin |
| 21:28.11 | meheren | sure it's not mac-fdisk \dev\hda? |
| 21:28.20 | Bor_Ed | yup, sure about that |
| 21:28.36 | Bor_Ed | give command exit |
| 21:28.47 | meheren | ok |
| 21:28.51 | meheren | it exited |
| 21:29.10 | Bor_Ed | you'll have to rely on partitioning for the installer one... I don't know why mac-fdisk didn't work on the thingy |
| 21:29.21 | meheren | ok |
| 21:29.55 | Bor_Ed | a sec, I'll try to dig the index page for the thingy |
