Debian Buster/Sid PPC64

[xeno74]

FYI:

Unfortunately, Debian Ports currently does not build any packages
from the non-free repository. This means, if you need a package
from non-free and it's not an arch-all package (_all.deb suffix),
you will have to build that package yourself.

We might build contrib and non-free packages for Debian Ports
in the future, but I am not sure whether that's possible from
the legal point of view.

FYI:

I forgot to mention. You need to install the package "debian-ports-archive-keyring":

# apt install debian-ports-archive-keyring

In case you are prompted to install from an untrusted source, say "Y".

Then run "apt update" again.

Hi All,

I created a small image of Debian Buster/Sid PPC64 today. I recommend to use it if you have any problems with Adrian's ISOs. Please increase the partition with GParted after you copied the image to an empty partition. I had to decrease the partition a little bit and after that I was able to increase the partition.

Download: debian-9.0-ppc64.img

root (password "amigaone")
amigaone (password "amigaone")

First steps

1. Configure your network device with dhclient
2. Check the network device with ip a
3. Update the package index with apt-get update
4. Install Xorg with apt-get install xorg
5. After that you could install the MATE desktop with apt-get install mate-desktop-environment-extras
6. Then you could install a display manager for example "lightdm" with apt-get install lightdm
7. Afterwards reboot your AmigaOne

Cheers,
Christian
