When i put linux (debian) on my powerbook a year and a half ago (wow. never
thought i'd still be this happy with a laptop after 18 months) i found
great help from the debian-powerpc and linux-ppc mailing lists.  

I was lucky that Ben Herrenschmid (i've butchered the spelling but
he's one of the main developers of the powerpc port of linux) *also*
had the same laptop as me, and so i made sure to read his posts
closely :>

anyway, yeah, the install proces is just different enough that one
more HOWTO sure can't hurt.   Pedro, have you let the debian-powerpc
list know about your work?   You'll probably get flamed by branden
robinson, but he flames everyone, so just ignore him :>
