| 01:23.26 | remote | hi |
| 01:23.57 | remote | I'm wanting to install debian on an old ppc 7600/120, is there anything I should know before installing? |
| 01:30.15 | *** join/#debianppc remote (i=barbar@modemcable022.30-130-66.mc.videotron.ca) |
| 01:30.35 | remote | sorry, my windows workstation even know when it has to reboot on its own |
| 01:46.28 | pahartik | remote: yes, be sure to have traditional MacOS install media that boots on that workstation around... |
| 01:47.00 | remote | why? |
| 01:47.03 | remote | (i don't) |
| 01:48.48 | pahartik | remote: to be able to install few times over, before it actually works out way you like it... |
| 01:49.25 | remote | erm.. I was thinking it would be the way I wanted the first time |
| 01:49.44 | remote | this sounds weird; could you ellaborate on what is most likely going to happen that I won't like? |
| 01:50.50 | pahartik | remote: usually workstation does not boot from harddisk at all, after first attempt of installing on OldWorld PowerMacintosh... |
| 01:51.32 | remote | ok so I can re-install or boot from the debian cd? |
| 01:52.42 | pahartik | remote: one can boot OldWorld PowerMacintosh from CD, as long as it is traditional MacOS install media |
| 01:54.30 | pahartik | remote: (Debian GNU/Linux install CD-ROM does not count as traditional MacOS install media) |
| 01:56.50 | remote | but will it boot? |
| 01:58.02 | pahartik | remote: no... |
| 01:58.08 | remote | how odd |
| 01:59.46 | remote | do they still sell OS 8 CDs? |
| 02:00.04 | pahartik | remote: OldWorld PowerMacintosh requires proprietary binary to boot from CD-ROM... such thing cannot be distributed by Debian |
| 02:00.36 | remote | oh i see |
| 02:02.04 | pahartik | remote: you could find second hand traditional MacOS install media... |

| 21:11.52 | lanceee | hi all |
| 21:12.59 | lanceee | anyone who can tell me how can I upgrade from debian-30r4-powerpc-binary-1.iso to the newer debianppc and what are the apt sources? |
| 21:16.23 | pahartik | lanceee: I use "http://pahartik.iki.fi/~pahartik/etc-apt-sources.list" and "http://pahartik.iki.fi/~pahartik/etc-apt-preferences" on workstation |
| 21:17.59 | pahartik | lanceee: of course I suggest using nearest mirror site of Debian FTP archive |
| 21:18.38 | lanceee | well my nearest debian mirror not contain ppc repository so thanks |
| 21:19.00 | chrisa | Then use a different one, it isn't difficult to figure this out.. |
| 21:20.47 | lanceee | I guess there are no differences between the ppc binaries |
| 21:21.02 | lanceee | I install debian to my old rs6000 machine |
| 21:21.55 | lanceee | after the setup end I will upgrade the base system this time |
| 21:22.51 | lanceee | yaboot doesn't work on this machine somehow |
| 21:23.01 | lanceee | I just tried to install FC6 |
