no. oldworld OpenFirmware does nothing more then activate the
hardware MacOSROM, this is on a ROM chip and has nothing to do with
any sort of disk

I would really like to execute some of my maintenance scripts (#?.sh-files) by
double clicking on them in the netatalk shared volumes, kinda like launching a
Mac app but to execute the remotely on the actual fileserver.
Is there a present solution helping to accomplish this task?
If so; does it
Hi -
I'm in the somewhat frustrating situation of having to install Debian on a
Powerbook 1400cs, which is a Nubus machine (and therefore not yet
supported by Debian). To make things worse, it does not have a cdrom drive,
just a serial connection to a Debian-PPC oldworld G3.

The only problem I can think of would be the executable format of the boot

Hi,
I have TCP/IP forwarding queues (via lpr old) to networked PostScript

There are two choices, through Netatalk and through Apple Desktop Printer

Of course, now I have completely new propblems. Mainly, my keyboard and
mouse don't work. Actually, my kb does work, but the keys are way way
way out of whack. I think it's up and to the left, because r = 2, and
the enter key is 8.

Aha, this is what I needed to know. In the past I had been unable to build
X due to a lack of disk space. So I built the drivers as per Vinod's
instructions, and everything appears to be working fine. Thanks for the
pointers, everyone.
