Mini-Distri for PPC??

[Andreas Richter]

I am looking for a free, small downloadable mini-linux-distri for a power
book 400. I have repaired this book for a friend and I want to test it, but
there is noch OS installed on it. Because I only have the possibility to
download via ISDN, the size of the distri must not be larger than ~20MB. I
only want to boot a krnel and have a look at the hardware (like hdd, CD-ROM
etc.) with fdisk or so.

This is my first ppc and I don't get the information via google...

Many thanks & best regards
Andreas

Download the Debian Installer:

200something MB, that is also a good rescue CD, or try the Business Card:

100something, but I am not sure there are all the tools you'll need.
