Latest installation ISOs for Debian Sid/m68k
Recently the latest installation CDs for Debian "Sid", which is the "unstable" developer branch of the Linux distribution, have been released on the official Debian server (
Youtube video
of the installation on an Atari Falcon). Experienced users who want to help debugging are very welcome to take part in the discussion on the
Debian-68k mailing list
or on the IRC (#debian-68k on
OFTC
). Debian at least requires a 68020 processor and a MMU. Due to the size the kernel image probably has to be extracted before it is booted. (
