I booted Linux 3.1-rc5 with a BusyBox initramfs on a 4 MB PowerBook recently. I had to create minimal configs for both, but it did indeed boot to a shell prompt. The kernel (with initramfs) was loaded by Pengiun within the free RAM availble under System 7 so I imagine this scenario isn't much different to the TOS/GEM scenario but I have no experience with Atari hardware. YMMV. Finn > > bye, > //mirabilos > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-68k-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
