Apologies to interrupt.... The RS/6000 Model 43P-140 IS a PowerPC based system. How you ask?? attach a graphical console (even a serial one) and the POWERPC logo appears... go to the SMS menus, and look at the system info, and yes it is PowerPC based.
The older RS/6000s (i.e. 2xx, 3xx, 5xx, 9xx, Cxx, Rxx, Jxx..) are Power2 Based, and currently Linux does not work on these.... I have gotten the linux kernel (2.x.x) boot on the rs/6000, but over the network (bootp/tftp).. unfortunately, have not been able to get the installer going... still working in this... BTW, the LinuxPPC v4 release does install on the 43Ps (pre140s anyway).... G'luck... -Franko _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
