Re: Debian on an iBook

[Curtis Vaughan]

Yeh, I agree that Fink is over-rated. I've used it and find it frustrating. In fact, for whatever reason, running KDE under fink will eventually just drag my system down to a near stop. I then have to close it and restart it.
Here's a site I found.

Fink is highly over-rated (as is OSX). I am running Debian on a Ti PowerBook. Here are a couple of install guides: http://people.debian.org/~branden/ibook.html

I haven't tried this yet, but depending on your motivations you might want to know about Fink (fink.sourceforge.net), which ports Debian's apt system to MacOS X. Would that Fink got as much energy devoted to it as Debian generally....

I was wondering whether anyone has been able to successfully install
Debian on an iBook. What problems were there? And have you been able to
have it set up for dual boot between Debian linux and OS X?
