There's a chance you might get Crux PPC to work but NetBSD/prep is probably the most current of anything you'll find for your particular system. If you want to continue with Linux, however, have a look at these older documents: http://www.solinno.co.uk/7043-140/getstarted.php http://www.debian.org

Yesterday I tested the other floppy images (SuSE, Mandrake and Debian) found on http://users.linpro.no/ingvar/43p/images but none of them worked. The SuSE and Mandrake images were the ones, that got the farthest in the booting process: RS/6000 RS/6000 RS/6000 RS/6000 RS/6000 RS/6000 RS/6000 RS/600

Hi, after a lot of attempts, I was able to reach some progress. I have figured out, that the 5.x.x version Debian PPC CDs are not bootable on PReP machines. The older 4.0rX images can be booted, as they contain a PReP boot image. I was able to load the kernel, but it is very-very slow (8-10 minut
