Ok, so I got copies of Mandrake PPC 9.1, and.... I have been trying to install them on a beige G3 333Mhz. Yup... I could have picked a 'way' easier Mac for my 'first time'. This is my 'first' attempt at installing Linux on anything, and needless to say this distribution assumes you have some idea what you are doing.

In other words, is anyone aware of an 'idot' guide to getting X Boot to even function on an Old World Mac? I think at this point I have something wacked (reports tomorow after I get a bit of sleep.) I probably stuck something somewhere it did not belong. I have lost the 'option' of setting the ramdisk (the dialong outlining that function is now missing), and when I try to run the Boot X app it says it can't find the 'prefrences' folder... At least before I messed all this up, I was getting as far as kernel panics. Hmmm... well... at least I can still boot OS 9.2.
In other words H..ELP...!
:)
