For Debian Woody you can find a detailed description (thanks to bernhard Kuhn for this!) at http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/DebianOnPowerpcInstallationHowto In the meantime we swithched to using Ubuntu Linux on the 5200, but here installation is a bit more complicated as you will have to twiddle with the installation ramdisk image, and later perform certain steps manually. It's probably easier to copy the filesystem from a "real" PowerPC system ;-) Best regards, Wolfgang Denk -- Software Engineering: Embedded and Realtime Systems, Embedded Linux Phone: (+49)-8142-66989-10 Fax: (+49)-8142-66989-80 Email: wd@denx.de If I can have honesty, it's easier to overlook mistakes. -- Kirk, "Space Seed", stardate 3141.9
