Let's try checking the iso was burned ok:

$ cmp /dev/cdrom debian-505-powerpc-netinst.iso
cmp: EOF on debian-505-powerpc-netinst.iso

I followed instructions from:
http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#record-unix

Still no luck using:
- C reboot solution
- Option solution
- Command+Option+o+f solution

API Sanity Autotest

I just discover today a neet tool to detect API/ABI change in shared C/C++ libraries:

http://ispras.linux-foundation.org/index.php/API_Sanity_Autotest

This is used at:

http://linuxtesting.org/upstream-tracker/

I think I need to compare that to the other one I had in mind:
