Well that does not help me too much since I cannot get anything past 2.2.14 to
run on my system (I'm one of those nasty powermac 7200/quik users). Does anyone
have any idea which is to blame, quik or the new kernels, or both? I think I am
going to havve to look into it if I want to get any newer kernels running on my
machine. What do I need to compile linux on my powerpc? Where can I get the
source?
Just one more thing... how does the clock stuff effect using rdate? should
rdate still work properly even with hwclock not being used?
