| 00:36.24 | linuxjones317 | how do i go about burning a cd t=that will boot on a ppc so i can install debian on it? i have never tried to do this before so im a bit confused |
| 00:37.02 | simonrvn | like x86. if it's a "New World" Mac PPC it'll boot from CD fine |
| 00:38.32 | linuxjones317 | simonrvn: but do i have to do anything special, cause i burned the iso to a cd, an then restarted holding the c key and it pulled up the hard drive but wont find the cd |
| 00:38.40 | linuxjones317 | its a powerbook g4 |
| 00:39.51 | simonrvn | it's a newworld box. there's been issues with booting the cds, so i've been hearing :(. i don't know the solution. check out the debian-powerpc list at http://lists.debian.org/ |
| 00:41.37 | linuxjones317 | im not compleately sure i have been dooing everything right to make the cd bootable, i have just been dragging the iso to the cd in finder and burning it that way, is that wrong? i always thought there would have to be a "make cd bootable" box somewhere i would have to check... |
| 00:46.21 | simonrvn | you have to burn the thing as a cd image. i think you may have been just copying the iso to another. |
| 00:46.23 | simonrvn | !ig |
| 00:46.31 | ravenbird | The Debian Installation Guide for lenny (5.0) can be found at http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/installmanual and for etch (4.0r8) at http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/installmanual . |
| 00:46.51 | simonrvn | linuxjones317: ^^^ tells you how |
| 00:56.56 | linuxjones317 | this brings me back to my initial problem, i need to know how to find out what hd: or ide0 my hard drive is |
| 01:00.57 | linuxjones317 | so is there an easy way to figure this out? |
| 01:09.45 | linuxjones317 | no? |
| 01:10.07 | simonrvn | um, you know how to use "System Profiler"? |
| 01:10.55 | linuxjones317 | uuuhh no im compleately new to mac's where would that be? |
| 01:11.52 | simonrvn | um, i'd suggest you read a mac os x tutorial before you even start installing debian.... |
| 01:12.15 | simonrvn | then come back here. i'm not going to hold your hand. |
| 01:13.14 | linuxjones317 | im way good in linux i just need to get this wretched thing to install it, i have no intentions of using os x |
