David,

I'd love to, but I owe Deirdre a beer for giving the easier solution!<G>

Although everyone was quick, Daniel was the quickest...;-)

Wouldn't you know you have to RTFM on a Mac...:-/ I was busy RTFW'n on the
Debian site...

Thanks to all that replied, I will get the new CD image when it's available,
but by that time I'll be doing "apt-get dist-upgrade" on this PowerBook. We
have a bunch of new PowerBooks that just came into work, so the new CD will
definitely get used.

Apple sure put a lot of partitions on it, I'm not sure if I need to add those
again or not, I was planning on just making 5 partitions, 800k for yaboot, one
for OS9, one for OSX, and two for Debian (1 for swap, 1 for the system).

First I need to go get an Xmas tree (yes, I am Jewish, but we celebrate both
Chanukah and Xmas so we don't taint the kiddies...;-).
