Re: Forgive my Mac-ignorance



Neither LC has an FPU; Check out  this site for specs on Macs:
http://support.info.apple.com/applespec/applespec.taf. Wouldn't bother with other sites when you have Apple's site on their own machines. Either machine could run Debian. You might have to find a 68882 for your LC 520. I'm real close to installing Potato on the 68LC040 I have. It just keeps repeating this message when the INIT phase of the internet superserver starts up:
 
starting internet superserver: inetd INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disable for 5 minutes
etc
 
Potato, according to the Linux developers I've had dialogue with over the net, have written FPU emulation into this newer version. Just needs a few bugs worked out and it will be up and running. Keep on trying. Submit any error messages to the following bug site. debian-68k@lists.debian.org.
