Abstract
This document contains installation instructions for the Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 system (codename “lenny”), for the PowerPC (“powerpc”) architecture. It also contains pointers to more information and information on how to make the most of your new Debian system.
Warning
This installation guide is based on an earlier manual written for
the old Debian installation system (the “boot-floppies”), and has
been updated to document the new Debian installer. However, for
powerpc, the manual has not been fully updated and fact checked
for the new installer. There may remain parts of the manual that are
incomplete or outdated or that still document the boot-floppies
installer. A newer version of this manual, possibly better documenting
this architecture, may be found on the Internet at the
debian-installer home page. You may also be able
to find additional translations there.
