Charles Plessy,
Well yes, I was asking about Debian 64-bit. The ram is maxed at 2 gig
so 32-bit userland would be ok. I would feel cleaner in pure 64 since
G5 is a 64-bit chip. There are of bugs at any mode switch boundary.
People find more every day.
What I'm after is install advice more than design discussions. How
would I best proceed? Even if I took your approach? Don't I need a
64bit kernel either way? Given my requirements don't I have to build
it? Given that, what's the best starting point?
The PPC64 wiki claims 98% of userland is done. What it does not cover
is "getting started." I need install advice. There's no up-to-date
installer that I found.
Does the autobuilder build kernel.org releases with Debian patches for
PPC64?
Thanks much.
