Need Advice from seasoned Apus users

[root <ax...@mo...>]

Hi there,

I'm stucked with a non-stable LinuxPPC 2000 Q4 with
kernel 2.4.4 and some software and the dilema to add
a fresh Debian PPC to another partition.
Currently I have:

1 hdc2 Linux / partition with everything
1 Hde3 Linux partition formated and free ready to be filled
2 swaps

I want to install Debian PPC ( oficial APUS ?) version
potato or Woody in the empty partition, but I'm not sure
about which is the best procedure.

I downloaded the base2_2.tgz file, and the other needed files,
my question is : Can I untar the file to the partition and then
from outside Linux boot this system or I have to put the files
elsewhere ?

I pretend to install the rest using ftp.

TIA

Rick
