Control: reassign -1 localechooser 2.68 Control: retitle -1 localechooser: image display inverts red and blue color
Ok, so here is my latest experiment. 1. Get the latest Debian Installer Stretch Alpha 7 release wget http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/stretch_di_alpha7/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-stretch-DI-alpha7-powerpc-netinst.iso 2. Burn to USB key: dd if=debian-stretch-DI-alpha7-powerpc-netinst.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M && sync 3. Plug/Unplug to Mac Minig G4 4. Reboot Mac Mini G4 5. Press Cmd+Opt+o+f to get to Open Firmware 6. Boot USB key: > boot usb0/disk@1:2,\\yaboot 7. Type: install32 At this point you should see the localechooser screen with a nicely inverted color (red background instead of blue background). Now simply go to alternate screen (eg. Alt+F2), and then type: # localechooser And be amazed that now the background is a nice blue background ! Looking at the source of localechooser I could not figure out what code path was used during debian-installer that gave it some sort of byte-swapped idea. Anyway please revert that change and leave the default `localechooser` background to make big endian (powerpc?) behave the same way as little endian.
