Debian GNU/Linux Installation Manual (PPC architecture)

Abstract

This article is a Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 system under the PowerPC (" powerpc ") hardware architecture installation tutorial. The article also includes information on how to build your new Debian system, as well as links to more information.

warn

This installation guide is based on a manual written for the old Debian installation system (" boot-floppies "), with additions and revisions for the new Debian installation system. However, for the powerpc architecture, this manual has not been fully updated and actually tested for the new version of the installer. This makes it possible for this manual to contain a small amount of content that is incomplete or outdated, or that still tells the boot-floppies installer. A new version of this manual, which may work better for this system, can be found on the debian-installer home page via the Internet. You can also find some additional translations there.
