Hi all, Did anyone of you install a Linux distro on a PowerMac 7600 ? It should be possible according to the web, but my experience is very different. I tried Mandake 8.2 and YDL 2.1, of which only YDL was able to initialize my Hard Disk and make nice 3 extra partitions but it stopped somewhere during package install. Mandrake crashed during the process of making partitions.
It drives me crazy. I just bought this machine with the purpose of installing Linux on it. The reason is that I am writing an article on it for a big magazine here in The Netherlands and Belgium. I wrote in it that it could be done, so I am in trouble now... Was anyone of you successful in installing a distribution on such a machine ? ------------------------------------------ Best regards, Jeroen Diederen http://diederen.demon.nl -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
