| 18:06.12 | dutchfish | good evening, also i run several debian ports i am new to ppc, is it possible to netinstall debian on this one, or are there special perequisites, i have a G4 ppc. |
| 18:06.54 | losinggeneration | I think a netinstall should be possible, IIRC that's what I did on my macmini (which is a G4) |
| 18:07.28 | dutchfish | yes, i am specially concerned about the partitioning and bootloader |
| 18:07.52 | dutchfish | once i formatted the drive there i no way back |
| 18:07.55 | dutchfish | is it? |
| 18:08.03 | dutchfish | i only want solely debian on it |
| 18:08.17 | losinggeneration | then that's not too hard at all really |
| 18:08.41 | dutchfish | just boot from cd with net-install-cd? |
| 18:08.43 | losinggeneration | though it's slightly different then on an x86 (here's the hint, it's mac-fdisk not just fdisk) |
| 18:09.08 | dutchfish | is it in the net-install .iso ? |
| 18:09.26 | losinggeneration | http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/ |
| 18:09.33 | dutchfish | and how do i instruct my G4 to boot from cd? |
| 18:09.43 | losinggeneration | it's in the link I just sent :) |
| 18:10.08 | losinggeneration | http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/ch05s01.html.en#boot-cd |
| 18:10.11 | losinggeneration | that specifically :) |
| 18:10.13 | dutchfish | yes |
| 18:10.27 | dutchfish | i have read that a few times, but confused about http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/ch03s05.html.en |
| 18:11.06 | dutchfish | as i said i dont need OSX, unless i need it to run debian |
| 18:12.07 | losinggeneration | don't need it, so you don't have to worry about that part |
| 18:12.26 | dutchfish | ok, is my G4 old world? |
| 18:12.31 | losinggeneration | no |
| 18:12.35 | dutchfish | ok |
| 18:12.39 | losinggeneration | http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/inst/install |
| 18:12.45 | losinggeneration | that tells what each one is |
| 18:12.49 | losinggeneration | old or new |
| 18:12.59 | losinggeneration | or really old :P |
| 18:13.12 | dutchfish | its G4 agp |
| 18:13.41 | dutchfish | M5183 |
| 18:14.24 | losinggeneration | I'm not sure what you're getting at telling me this, it should be pretty obvious if you read through: http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/inst/install |
| 18:15.48 | losinggeneration | also, if you're worried about the install process, you can try doing an install with qemu first |
