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....

Chris
