Especially 43P-150 :-) Will they be able to boot and install from the 9.2 I would love to get these machines runing on Linux and Mandrake Since i already have a couple of x86 doing that ! I heard that 9.1 would boot and install on a RS/6000, but I couldn't manage to do it. Did you try? Anyway, I would also like to have Linux on my good old 43P-150 :-) I guess we can share impressions and ideas when the time to test arrives. -- _ |!rs Tirs Abril i Sanz e-Commerce Dept.

I tried to install 9.1 for a short while but unfortunately I couldn't dedicate all the necessary time to it (well, actually I prefer to say fortunately, since the reason is that I am getting married in two weeks!) There is no official 9.2 PPC. Well, I was actually thinking about cooker. I expected some unofficial 9.2 PPC to come up, but now you tell me that it might be a mix of 9.2/10.0/whatever. Well, as Deng Hsiao Ping said, it doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white as long as it chases mice. Thanks for your answer! -- _ |!rs Tirs Abril i Sanz e-Commerce Dept.

Re: R: MDK8 installation on an RS/6000?
A Dimecres 06 Març 2002 20:50, vàreu escriure: if it is possible we are ready to contribute with our machine: 7248 mod 100, mod 120 and mod 140. We had a bootstrap with linux2000Q4 PPC the result was a minimal installation without graphics. Contribute as in lend me the machine? I really need to get hands on with one to work through the issues. If you want to do the remote troibleshooting thing, we can go that route too, but it will be slow. Roger: I could use even this small bootstrap, or instructions to create one myself. Would it be possible that you send it/them to me, or put them in a place where I can download? I would appreciate it. Anyway, it can be a good starting point for a full-fledged boot-and-install process. Stew: I can also lend a hand testing whatever you need in my RS/6000. Actually I was in the mailing list and beta testing back in August, but I was sent overseas for a six-month project and had to give up. -- _ |!rs Tirs Abril Tech.

MDK8 installation on an RS/6000?
Hi everybody! After almost six months working in a project abroad, I am back home and I'm continuing what I left, namely the installation of Mandrake Linux 8.0 PPC on an IBM RS/6000 43P-150. My question is very simple: Where do I begin? I have the two CDs, and none of them boot. I am afraid maybe they are intended for a MacIntosh BIOS and I have been looking for a bootable floppy image or something similar, but I couldn't find it. Can somebody put me on track? Is there anybody out there who has installed Mandrake PPC on an RS/6000 and wants to share experiences? Thanks a lot! -- _ |!rs Tirs Abril --- Cita del dia: From listening comes wisdom and from speaking repentance.
Re: HTML messages - yea or nay?
Just wondering if people minded having HTML messages posted to this mailing list. If any dissent exists - I'll gladly revert to plain text messages ;) The core question here is: Does HTML add any useful info to your messages? If not, I recommend you to turn it off and work without it - always and forever. Efficiency and competence need to remove, eliminate and stand out redundance. -- _ |!rs Tirs Abril Tech.
