Yes, linux-ppc definitely boots (with yaboot???) on 7500. That is why I was thinking it might be possible to burn a bootable for oldworlds. - mdf > Not quite sure about that ... I think the old "Linuxppc" distribution > came with a CD which was bootable on my 8500 (I think the was the 1999 > r

Hi, I've got a Apple 9600 on which I would love to have Woody (only). The trouble is I removed the floppy years ago to make room for another harddisk. As far as I understood from the install manual I need to use floppies for oldworld macs. I don't have a floppy drive available I could put in. Any
