Linux on a mac

<< < (2/3) > >>

Calum:
on a related but irrelevant note, i just *found* a 15 year old Apple Classic II in a skip. 10 inch b/w screen and only a floppy drive! i haven't switched it on yet as i am waiting for it to dry out, but i think i will have to try linux on it if i can find a way. the lack of a cdrom is probably my first main hurdle.

this is just for interest, i am not trying to hijack the thread!

Aloone_Jonez:
Interesting, I don't know much about this but didn't the old Macs use a Motorola CPU? If this is the case you'll need to recompile the kernel and you might have to write a bootloader from scratch sice it's probably very hardware specific and it might include some asm code, good luck.

WMD:
They have Debian for Motorola 68k Macs.  Whether or not the Classic II will run it, who knows.  The only time I heard of it working for somebody was using an SE/30 with an external CD-ROM.

sean:
I've been thinking about trying this too.
Question- Will Ubuntu work w/ Airport?
The machine I'd like to try it on is a G3 iMac w/ Airport connected to an Airport Express. I am running WPA wireless security.

WMD:
Ubuntu (and all the distros) will work with the 802.11b Airport, but not Airport Extreme.
