I used the april 9 2019 installer and yes, when you do the installation it fails as fuse is broken. You will have to manually fix that later. You will also have to install the yaboot bootloader later, this can be done in rescue mode.I was able to boot that image from USB. You have to dd the iso to the USB and boot from open firmware, see internet.
Thanks, could you add a little more detail, I know how to install yaboot from rescue mode, but what do you mean by " fuse is broken" and how do I go about fixing it?
Hmmmm........

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]I made some progress today...
Nice to hear that you liked MintPPC so much. I really enjoyed making it at that time. I am slowly regaining my knowledge about this subject matter. I haven't touched Linux since 2013 or so. It started again this summer after an installation of Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.2 on a reasonably recent Asus Zenbook. I was impressed how well it worked and it is my every day computer now. I then found an old PowerBook in a drawer and thought, what the heck: I am going to try to get a recent version of Linux on it. As I am familiar with Debian/Ubuntu/Mint, it became Debian as I see no other way than Debian sid.
