Hi Str8bs,Keith, Lars, I don't want to interupt your work here, I just have a quick question that maybe one of you can answer. I have that Imac G3 333.33 Mhz with 256mb of ram that I got going last week. The question is, Is there a yaboot perameter that can get a live cd going? or is it just wish for me and have to install the alternate in order to do testing?.
I'm just trying to see if i can do any good with the G3 for Lubuntu ppc.
