install iso ftp-install-ppc

how ?

Hi sacarde,

No it is not possible to do an install from the ftp iso due to the
fact that as far as I know all the package mirrors are now offline due
to archlinux ppc being a dead project. You would need a Core iso in
order to do an install.

I'd suggest you go with a distro that officially support PPC such as
Debian or Gentoo.

even if I copy all filesystem "/" by the system into a partition?

p.s.

is there an iso archppc from which I can install a mini system ?

[David Liana]

NO!

Arch ppc is dead and no longer supported.  You need to move to Debian, Gentoo or NetBSD

Just use de debian ppc port, that one is still in active development, even the latest version from archppc does have issues. Also the debian port is more uptodate and you don't have to compile everyting

Debian is the way to go.  Gentoo is very good but a bit tedious to install and maintain since it breaks sometimes.  DebianPPC is easy and super solid.  I have 4 old machines as Debian servers, 1 with the "Awesome" window manager if I want to run X.
