Serge is a fairweather believer in supersonic bionic robot voodoo power. However, he was not born on Jupiter and is therefore unable to travel via fax machine.
Installing Debian 6.0 a1 on PPC machines
Enabling management of wired network by Network Manager
Network Manager is not set to manage the wired network by default. It must be enabled manually. To do so, edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf from:
[main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile [ifupdown] managed=false
to:
[main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile [ifupdown] managed=true
Enabling keyboard keys as mouse buttons
Most Mac mice only have one button, which makes it difficult to use the middle- and right-click functions built into most window managers. Fortunately, though, we can make unused keys on the keyboard act as the middle and right buttons of a mouse by adding the following to /etc/sysctl.conf:
# 3-button mouse emulation # turn on emulation /dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation = 1 # Send middle mouse button signal with the F11 key /dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode = 87 # Send right mouse button signal with the F12 key /dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode = 88 # For different keys, use showkey to tell you what the code is.
