Debian 4.0 Etch

[Varthall]

I have heard of people having successfully upgraded from Woody to Etch, and that I guess it's the easiest way to install it.

I guess that's what I'll do then - I guess I'll need something better than a 2.4 kernel won't I ? Is Ross Vumbaca still maintaining AmigaOne Linux kernels ?

No, the current maintainer is Geri, he does still put new kernels on the amigaone-linux homepage. I'm not sure, but I guess you can use both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels with Etch, althought the latter is recommended. You should install 2.6 kernel only *after* you have upgraded to Etch (or Sarge), though. I hope that someone will write an updated Debian installer, someday.

Ta, I'll bear that in mind - actually the disk I have is supposed to have a nifty installer on it anyway.

-edit- actually, its probably only for PowerMacs (PCI ones) so might not work out of the tin on an A1.

Indeed, the only installer that works on A1 is the one for Woody, from Vumbaca's. There have been some attempts to officialize the A1 kernel and its installer, I don't know how this has ended.
