A kernel for mac
hi.
I'm (somewhat) active in the development of Linux/Mac68k. Some time ago,
I started writing a (better) Potato install guide. This was all very
nice, and I ended up, um, volunteering to build the Debian/68k kernel for
Macintosh. In the mean time, this has grown to include the MacOS part of
the installation as well, that means basically I'll be creating
`macinstall.tgz'.
I've only got two 68k-based Macs, so I need more people to test the
kernel. You can get it from
http://www.phys.uu.nl/~dwijn/mac68k/vmlinux.gz and modules.tar.gz, or
visit http://www.phys.uu.nl/~dwijn/mac68k.html.
As of right now, there might be a problem with large files and SCSI.
The installation procedure hangs while extracting base2_2.tgz; I hope
there will be a fix for this some time soon.
You'll also see a `potatoinstall.ps' and `potatoinstall.tex'. These are
not finished, and they are somewhat ahead of the current situation.
Please do not use them to help you install potato as it is now.
cheers, Alfred
