    Greetings,

    I got my hands on an old IBM 43p 150

    Type: 7043-150
    Graphics: IBM GXT3000p ( I also have an IBM GXT2000p which seems to be a
    Matrox clone)
    CD
    1 Gig Ram
    9 Gig HDD
    75MHz 604e PowerPC CPU

    I'm not totally sure wether this machine is CHRP or PREP. I've already
    upgraded OpenFirmware to the last version but I'm not able to boot any
    LinuxKernel (well, thats not totally true - Mandrake Linux Version 9.1 (that
    I've bought) boots out of the box by hacking some modifications in
    OpenFirmware...)

    I don't like this Mandrakestyle anyway so I'd rather have Debian running on
    this Machine...

    May anyone help me out?
    Is there a good tutorial (for Installation) available?
    I already tried some tutorials but all Kernels (compiled or not) won't boot.

    HINT: I need some kind of Floppy or CD installation because there is no
    Network available during installation Process.... kind'a bad luck :(

    Thanks for your help...

    Please reply to this Newsgroup (eMail is fake to avoid spam....)

    Thanks :)
