那我就贴了，因为是在iBook上装的，所以很不通用。。

Introduction
The purpose of this article is to describe a way as simple as possible to install Debian on an iBook with fewest tweaks ( yet remaining fully functional ) and least amount of time. Since there have been various tutorials about installing Debian on PPC, details will not be emphasized.
Installation
Burn the Debian PPC CD 1 ISO.
Download it here
http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/
Chooses which ever you like, however I suggest always go with the unstable, yet the latest, ones 
Install the base system
Basically, boot from the CD, follow instructions, make sure you will not screw your partitions and MBR. I suggest that for first time installation, backup as much as possible, and don't expect to duel boot with MacOSX until you are familiar with the installation process.
( see my other article about installing Debian on a PC ( in Chinese ) )
Upgrade the system to sid ( unstable )
make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list contains only this line uncommented
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
Install iBook/PPC related packages
apt-cache search ibook
You will get these packages listed.
gtkpbbuttons - GTK client for pbbuttonsd
ikeyd - Daemon for handling special Apple laptop hotkeys
pbbuttonsd - PBButtons daemon to handle special hotkeys of Apple computers
pbbuttonsd-dev - Development files for PBButtons
tleds - Blinks keyboard LEDs indicating TX and RX network packets.
wmbatppc - Battery monitor for Apple G3/G4 ibooks/powerbooks
xpmumon - Battery monitor for PMU-based powerbooks/ibooks
More description of these packages can be found at debian package page.
Another extremely useful package can be found by searching powerbook keyword
apt-cache search powerbook
These packages will show
pmud - Apple PowerBook power management daemon
pmud-utils - Apple PowerBook power management daemon utils
You might also want to upgrade the kernel
apt-cache search kernel-image
Simply choose what you need.
Other Recommended packages
wireless-tools
powerprefs
So we will gladly get all useful packages using one line of command.
apt-get install gtkpbbutton pmud powerprefs wireless-tools
In a brief description
iBook has its own power management system which will be handled by pmud. All the power related issue like halt when the lid is closed, reduce power consumption in battery mode, etc will be enabled after pmud started. Since pmud is configurable, we can do something not possibly be done in MacOSX, e.g. closing the lid while maintaining the system running ( useful when doing a wireless sniff ).
Special function keys are handled by pbbuttonsd. gtkpbbuttons, a GTK client of pbbuttonsd, will show a graphical notificaion on your screen if for instance the volume up key is pressed.
trackpad from powerprefs package will customize the behavior of your trackpad, I found the notap option useful since it prevents the trackpad to generate click events.
wireless-tools will help us set up the airport card ( if you are using one ).
Install xserver
I like the idea of xserver, xclient, etc, but for a desktop user they don't have to know these stuff, and I won't bother to explain. Simply type this
apt-get install xserver-xfree86 xbase-clients xfonts-base xterm
Install your desktop
By the time I wrote this document, the gnome package has unmet dependencies. Hopefully it will be ready to use soon. Since I am a gtk+ fun, I turned to xfce4. Other desktop environment should follow a similar installation process.
apt-cache search xfce4
You will find some xfce4 toolkits really handy, e.g.
xfce4-battery-plugin will display a nice battery bar in panel.
Install them as you need
apt-get install xfce4
This is enough for setting up the whole xfce4 base system.
Configuration
These configurations should be self explaining. Details and explanations can be found in other iBook tutorials or by reading documentations.( ... I know )
emulate mouse middle click and right click.
add these 3 lines in your /etc/sysctl.conf
dev.mac_hid.mouse_button_emulation=1
dev.mac_hid.mouse_button2_keycode=68
dev.mac_hid.mouse_button3_keycode=87
prevent trackpad from generating click event
simple method
switch to root
trackpad notap
recommended mothed
create /etc/init.d/trackpad
add line
/sbin/trackpad notap
update-rc.d trackpad defaults
( I know I should use the start flag, but I don't want to bother those runlevel parameters after it )
configure sound
modconf
install driver->sound->dmasound ->dmasound_pmac
Configure airport card
modconf
install driver->net->wireless->airport
add following lines to /etc/network/interfaces
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wireless_essid NAME
wireless_key s:KEY
wireless_nick NICKNAME
NAME is your networkid
KEY is your encryption key
NICKNAME is any string you want to nick your wireless network
bring up the wireless network by giving command in root mode
ifup eth1
make use of your function keys
add the following line to ~/.xinitrc or equivalent file
gtkpbbuttons&
start xfce4
add the following lines to ~/.xinitrc or equivalent file
xfce-mcs-manager
xfwm4 --daemon
xftaskbar4 &
xfdesktop &
exec xfce4-panel
see the documentation of xfce4
Preferred software
This paragraph is for my own record.... you design your own.
mozilla-browser
evolution
gaim
xchat
nautilus
gedit
abiword
gnumeric
rhythmbox
dictd
dict-nw
gnome-dictionary
stardict
fcitx
totem
gdesklets-data
Chinese locale
In progress
Other issues
kernel
By now, kernel 2.6 is still under heavy development hence not good enough for daily use.
alsa
A good thing to have, but I could not figure out how to make it working. It does not work quite well with the power management unit neither( need special tweak to fix it, hence out of the scope of this document ).
video playback
Simply unacceptable. due to oss driver.
performence
G3 is integer speed god. Also the performance boosts from MacOSX to Linux is huge. I notice this immediately after installing Yellow Dog Linux on my iBook, however Debian brings me both performance and stability.
flash
Flash does not work well in Debian ppc,in fact, flash does not work well in Linux, no matter the platform... an extension of mozilla called flash click or something like that will block all the flash until you click them yourself. I even use this in my regular Linux box since it saves tons of CPU power when browsing those website with enormous amount of flash ads.
Summary
Install the base system
make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list contains only this line uncommented
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install gtkpbbutton pmud powerprefs wireless-tools
add these 3 lines in your /etc/sysctl.conf
dev.mac_hid.mouse_button_emulation=1
dev.mac_hid.mouse_button2_keycode=68
dev.mac_hid.mouse_button3_keycode=87
create /etc/init.d/trackpad
add line
/sbin/trackpad notap
update-rc.d trackpad defaults
modconf
install driver->sound->dmasound ->dmasound_pmac
modconf
install driver->net->wireless->airport
add following lines to /etc/network/interfaces
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wireless_essid NAME
wireless_key s:KEY
wireless_nick NICKNAME
add the following line to ~/.xinitrc or equivalent file
gtkpbbuttons&
xfce-mcs-manager
xfwm4 --daemon
xftaskbar4 &
xfdesktop &
exec xfce4-panel
That's it! You have a fully functional iBook running Linux with fewest steps possible.
Ending
If you have an iBook, fill it with Linux.
