Installation guide: Debian Sarge (PPC) on an Amiga 4000 PPC
Harald "Rotzlöffel" Meinzer has written a step by step tutorial for the installation of Debian PPC. In the first part he explains how to prepare the harddrive, to install the older Debian-version "Woody" as well as afterwards to upgrade to Debian Sarge.
The tutorial is meant to be read by users of an Amiga 4000 with PPC-board. Users of an A1200 do require different kernel-files and have to changes some parts. All users who are interested in a tutorial for an Amiga please contact Meinzer.

AROS: Icaros Desktop 1.5.1
Paolo Besser has released version 1.5.1 of his AROS-distribution Icaros Desktop. Now a new kernel is used which will provide more stability and fix the boot problems of some of the motherboards. The keyboard shortcut Control-Alt-Delete activates a cold start, and Control-lAros-rAROS a warm start.
Additionally the update includes the game Ri-Li, the backup tool BackupCopy and updates of several components of the Distribution.
Hint:
Originally Icaros 1.5.1 was delivered with a buggy version of the FAT-handler which could destroy the filesystems on FAT12-/FAT16 media. If you have already installed the update then check if the new version was installed: You can recognize it by looking at the name of the download archive. The name of the new version was completed by an"-1": "IcarosLive_1_5_1-1.7z.exe" instead of " IcarosLive_1_5_1.7z.exe".

USB: New edition of Thylacine canceled
In October all documents on the Zorro 2 plug-in card Thylacine were released which made it possible to recreate the low-cost USB-controller. Users on a1k.org expressed the wish to have the original design reworked and then sold the construction kit at cost price.
Actually during the first eight weeks several revisions of a reworked layout have been presented which the could have been produced as prototypes. After more than one month of silence the initiator "crasbe" explained that he has canceled the project which was called "Nova-Thylacine".
He has suspend the project in order to prevent "screwing up anybodies business". A commercial competing product which "is not or at least not much more" expensive than the Nova-Thylacine will be available "at the latest by the next quarter".
