    OR, try the older Stable Debian Etch! 4.0r5. When you go to install it you will be presented with the server options. This *may* be small enough to work with your 32mb.

    I was trying Xubuntu Dapper 6.0.6.1.
    Gonna try Debian Etch! 4.0r5 now.

    There are lots of CDs for powerpc http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/...owerpc/iso-cd/
    or should I donwload the netinst? http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/debian-installer/

    getting this error:
    -1,/vmlinux: unable to open file: Invalid device
    Is it telling me to do a partition for linux. Is that possible to do from the debian boot prompt?
    the options are: install, auto, expert, rescue.
