J-L Boer #1 / 5	mac 6100/66 and mklinux. Hi, Is it possible to install mklinux dr-3 on an old mac 6100/66 (w/ 40mb ram and a 340 scsi hdd )I have without having the mac os on it. I have to do a bare bones install on a clean machine as I no longer have any mac stuff. I have a pc already running mandrake linux (=redhat 5.2) and want to put this old mac into service again just as an internet box on my network. On my pc linuxbox I have downloaded the DR-3 cd-image and will try to burn the raw image tonight with X CDRoast. However everything I read says do such and such on the mac os side, do so and so in the mac os etc. Does anyone have the steps down to load mklinux on a bare 6100/66? Thanks J-L jlbo...@usa.net

In article <36FDADDF.340CA...@usa.net>, J-L Boers <jlbo...@usa.net> wrote: You need to have at least a small MacOS partition with the MacOS installed on it, because MkLinux can't boot by itself. It boots via the MkLinux Booter, a MacOS system extension which is invoked by the MacOS boot code. Once MkLinux is up and running, it takes over the machine completely, but you still need the MacOS to get it up and running. -- Jon Bell <jtb...@presby.edu> Presbyterian College Dept. of Physics and Computer Science Clinton, South Carolina USA [ Information about newsgroups for beginners: ] [ http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Lab/6882/ ]

Tobias Patto #3 / 5	mac 6100/66 and mklinux. MKLinux requires the MacOS to boot the system. As far as I know, there's no way around this. Now if only those nice people at LinuxPPC.org would make a NuBus compatible LinuxPPC system, we might have something worth talking about. Tobias.

Tom Vi #4 / 5	mac 6100/66 and mklinux. iirc, ftp.info.apple.com has system 7.1 available, for free. -- Tom Vier - 0x82B007A8 thoma...@erols.com http://www.erols.com/thomassr/zero/

Matthew Pritzke #5 / 5	mac 6100/66 and mklinux. Actually, PowerMac 6100 requires 7.1.2 minimum, but there is now the 7.5.3 installer available for free download at same website (under Older System). Unfortunately, in order to run the installer, you first have to boot the computer! -- -------------------- Matthew Pritzker Graduate Research Assistant mprit...@iucf.indiana.edu IU Physics Dept.
