    Debian Live CD w/KDE for ppc by bittorrent?

    Does there exist a Debian live CD with KDE for PowerPC architecture -- available by bittorrent?

    I'm downloading the iso (debian-live-4.0r0-rc1-powerpc-kde-CD) right now from live.debian.net. But it's awfully slow. My hope is that a torrent may be downloaded faster. But, does it exist?

    Thumbs up

    I know what you mean. I have been surprised by some of the architectures supported. I suspect you could roll your own, as that is what the Debian-Live thing is all about. The wiki sucks bad, but if you make sense of it, you need a debian system installed. After that, you need to install some live-helper program, if I remember correctly. From there, you execute commands, build the system, and eventually compile it into an ISO.

    You could search for torrents through the web, but it may or may not turn up something. Perhaps you could email Debian admins. Or maybe simply joining a top debian forum and expressing your wants would push out an official torrent; I don't see why the webmasters wouldn't want to save bandwidth.
