A while back I had good luck first installing potato on a 7500 and then booting with a SuSE 2.4.12 coff boot disk and than upgrading to potato by modifying the sources list. This same technique didn't work on an SuperMac c500.
I have not been able to get the woody completely installed from the boot disks because it has difficulting finding the files from http.us.debian.org although I copied some to a local webserver and almost got there??? Some folks have had success modifying the System file on the miboot HFS boot disks to change the ramdisk and root disk locations, but it hasn't worked for me using a hexeditor or the perl script that is in the powerpc-specials on cvs.debian.org My next step is to try to build a yaboot CD (I believe Old Worlds support this). - mdf > I have an old pwer pc (not apple) system which works - has a full system > 9 install on a loud old internal scsi drive. > > I would like to remove that drive and replace it with a woody only drive > - just linux, no mac OS. > > I have read thru the install manual, and am still at a loss as to how to > go about setting up a woody-only hard disk for this system. > > hints? > > aloha, > dave > > > -- ________________________________________________________________________ Matthew D.
