Hello! I do not even know where to start. I love computers, and have ever since owning my very own 8088 XT. Experimented with Linux at age 12 on a Cyrix. Had several Apple IIGS machines. At age 12 I managed a appletalk network at my elementary school. Bought my first mac in college (5 years ago) a

distcc recommendation

2010-04-16 Thread Britt Dodd
Greetings, I was just following up to a response I had posted a few days ago. I believe that as long each ARAnyM instance is identical in setup to the others, distcc will work without issue. The issue of ccache may not be of importance, simply due to the fact that most of the compiles performed ma

Is there any up-to-date information to be had for installing Linux/m68k on a Mac? I also own an amiga 4000D but that needs a scandoubler, and funds are a little tight. The mac is a 25...@68040. Apparently its also easy to chip to 33Mhz (need a heatsink/fan though) Is there a native way to install

Wiki

Is there a wiki or anything available that I could look for and get some more information on the process of booting and installation? If there isn't a wiki would there be any interest in me creating and hosting one for this project? I believe having a wiki with statuses or even a bugzilla for bugs(

If anybody needs 68-pin SCSI hard drives let me know id ship them out for shipping costs. I bought them to use with my Video Toaster, but I cant find a video card that will work on my A4000 that is inexpensive enough for me to afford. Somehow I also lost my keyboard too. On Tue, Sep 6, 2011 at 1:1

I'm reading through this thread and I'm realizing that I would absolutely love to help out with compiling/testing or whatever. I actually have qemu virtualization for 68k through PowerPC running in KVM. While it doesn't seem to be 100% compatable with the apple/pmac variety of 68k equipment (of whi

Hello, I've been monitoring this mailing list for quite some time.

Greetings! I've been a long time listener now and I finally have my hands on a 68k machine. It's a SE/30 with 64M ram (it'll go up to 128M ram) and a 2G hard drive. System7 on this is somewhat limited as far as usefulness, and I have a very small collection of large SCSI hard drives I could install

I can also setup a ARAnyM VM and I have a few 040 macs (and a new-to-me 68030 mac) that I'm working on getting up and running linux. Once I get there, it should be pretty easy to run the debian-unstable and then setup a buildd (google probably knows about that process i'm assuming) On Mon, Dec 31

I'm sorry. I was a little confused and jumped the gun on answering your questions. I totally understand fixing processes to a specific CPU in that scenerio. If you type in your CPU model i7 950 an Intel link called Intel Arc will give you a bunch of the information I asked about like hyperthreading

I run Jenkins at my job. Small is around 256mb. Plus the Jenkins server can sit on a high-memory machine and the agent just sit on a 68k box doing builds. Small is like 64M ram. You Amiga/Atari guys seem to have oodles of ram to work with Lol. On Oct 23, 2013 2:45 AM, "Geert Uytterhoeven" wrote:
