I have been using Linux for a few years now and the new excitment for me is the arrival of a powerbook wallstreet I will be attempting to setup MDK 8.2 PPC on. I am eager to see how Linux runs in a RISC enviroment. As this is my first time working with a PPC any tips or suggestions are appriciated.
The first stumbling block I have run into is it came with mac os x jaguar installed, with 9.2 in a sepirate partion. This powebook boots into os x, from there when I launch bootX it launches 9.2 to run bootX, I set it up (which is the best video driver for a powerbook wallstreet?) once configured I select linux and it shuts down the 9.2 but does not reboot the system. Only returns me to os x. I have thought about just formatting the drive with disktools however untill I am certain I can boot from cd and initiate the install process i am leary of ending up with no os and no way to acess somthing like bootX What is the procedure for directing a powerbook wallstreet to boot from cd? What is my next step? -- 2:32pm up 2 days, 2:30, 8 users, load average: 2.17, 2.06, 2.04
