Can the mklinux CD:s boot oldworld macs? If so, you could perhaps copy the partitions on the mklinux CD instead of copywrited Apple ones?
Yes - they most certainly can. I started off playing with linux on the power pc with Mk Linux on a 7500. I don't know if it will boot a NuBus machine though. The other issue is, I think the drivers on those CDs are still the property of Apple. Remember Mk Linux came from, and for a while, was supported by Apple. I think in the realm of truly free loaders (for Mac machines) has only BootX (though that need MacOS to run), quik, and yaboot. The verdict is still out on miBoot. Can anyone comment on the status of that piece piece of software ? cheers vinai. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
