Hans,Thanks for posting this. Do you (or anyone else) happen to know if this will work with an OldWorld PowerBook G3 (a "Wallstreet", for example)? I'm using BootX to boot my Linux. Thanks for your help.

Jeffrey,
You have what is referred to these days as an "OldWorld", a Mac that has a particular architecture which (currently) requires the use of a piece of software called BootX in order to boot into Linux. (In the near future, it's possible you'll be able to boot and install Linux using anothe
Hi Simon,I know, it's seems like an odd post. I've no programming experience to contribute to the debian-powerpc project; thus far I've only been able to test the results of programmers' efforts, such as by installing the latest (or past) kernels on my OldWorld PowerBook. So how can I contribute?
LOL; That's about where I'm at. My programming/developing skills are *extremely* limited, as I'm still in the earliest stages of learning how to script/program, and even navigate linux/unix using the command line. I'm good at following instructions, though, often piecing together bits of instruct
Thanks for explaining this, Sven. I was unaware of the nature of changes that occurred prior to the 2.6.15 kernel, and this gives me a general idea. This also seems to answer the original question posed by Rich Thomas -- the question which began this thread.
Rick, Let me know if there's anything
clear now ?i am not saying that this is the only way
but it would perhaps help with the hassle theother guys were talking about, doing thingsby hand and not automated ( am not sure if wehave enough detail to verify that but it soundslike what i was considering as a last resort)

Does anyone know of an online tutorial, designed for laymen, on how to install and use miBoot? I'm tech-savvy but somewhat obtuse when it comes to compiling and all that, but I can get through the task (which is kind of fun, actually) once I have enough of a starting point. Unfortunately, I'm not
Thank you for taking the time to report this information here, Aurélien! There are those of us who *really* appreciate it. Over the past year or so, my primary portable has been an OldWorld PowerBook G3 ("Wallstreet 2"). This PowerBook is currently running Xubuntu, but I'm interested in trying D
Hi all,I don't sell PowerPC parts, nor am I affiliated with any individual or organization that does. So I hope this isn't perceived as spam. I just wanted to let you know that if you're looking for PowerPC parts, contact me and I can direct you to some online resources -- some individual sellers
Hi all,
I've got 256 megs of RAM in my PowerBook G3, and after simply running Firefox for awhile, my Mac begins grabbing swap space. Is there a way to refresh/make memory available again (besides rebooting)?
Thanks,

Hello all,
I'm installing Debian to my PowerBook G3 ("Wallstreet"). I'm having trouble copying my vmlinux and initrd.gz files from my Debian partition to my Mac OS petition. I'm near the end of the installation process, and typically I'm able to mount the hfs (Mac OS) partition using the follow
