Hi Everyone,

This is my first encounter with CPLUG :)

I have a PowerMac G4 that I'm trying to install Debian on.  I have a  
net install disc but from what I've gathered from research, the  
default boot loader does not recognize Bootable Linux discs.  I've  
heard that there is a boot loader called "Yaboot" that you can install  
on PowerPC computers so you can boot Linux discs.

Does anyone have any experience installing Linux on a  
PowerPC(specifically a PowerMac G4), either using Yaboot or some other  
magic?

Any help would be appreciated,
Matthew
