| 12:37.36 | dennis1 | right just plugged in my Debian Squeeze ppc HD into an amd machine booting a live CD but fdisk -l says: /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table |
| 12:38.09 | dennis1 | is that common for a ppc debian HD? |
| 12:38.54 | dennis1 | well I guess it may contain some mac os partitions from before lenny |
| 12:40.53 | Bor_Ed | partition maps are different for wintel and ppc gear |
| 12:41.17 | dennis1 | would a live CD for powerPC recognise the HD when I put it back into the Blue and White? |
| 12:41.25 | Bor_Ed | yup |
| 12:43.19 | dennis1 | which one is recommended? I noticed ubuntu 2008 lts seems to be the only current one? |
| 12:44.04 | Bor_Ed | debian has 'live' environment too on the install images |
| 12:44.37 | Bor_Ed | just text based but enables to run fsck and so on |
| 12:44.38 | dennis1 | for ppc? |
| 12:44.47 | Bor_Ed | yup |
| 12:47.59 | dennis1 | ah, I'll try ubuntu first as I had some trouble in getting arround in ash on a debian 2006 CD. I could not look beyond the CD and ram fs, clumsy me :-) |
| 12:49.38 | Bor_Ed | it's tricky on the netinst debian cd but doable, don't know about official install cd kit as I've never used it |
| 12:53.40 | dennis1 | ok thanks |
| 12:54.09 | dennis1 | btw, where can i see what distro and version sits on a x86 partition? |
