Hans, I was told that your the man to talk to... I've got the install working up until I get to the XF86Setup then the X server has problems connecting and craps out giving me an _X11unix_connect errno = 111 (something like that). If you can get me up and running on debian on my laptop I will give you my copy of Debian for PPC 2.2 dist set that I got from LinuxCentral. (I won the door prize at the WestSide meeting and got a hold of the YDL Disks. John, I'm in the process of burning your copy right now... If anyone else would like a copy of Debian PPC or YDL let me know....
