Will try the devtmpfs.mount=1 suggestion on a fresh install. (have
2*605 with fpus) Will write up a webpage if I get a smaller set of
requirements.
occasional 1-5 sec freezes.
Would really like to produce 2 disks; 1. a MacOS system disk with a
drive partitioner and, 2. an emile disk with enough tools to format,
start networking and copy an image. Then many people could install
Debian on their old Macs ;)
Here's some other resources that might suffice:
Mac-bootable Debian 3 and ~4 installer ISOs are available.
There exists a MacOS port of pdisk (Apple's command line partitioner).
Will try this. There needs to be a way to install Linux if you don't
have linux on the computer already, and while the 2.2.27 installer
works, I would not like to install 2.2.27 over ?? hours just to
install 2.6 on **another** partition later. Some people may like to
try to install with very limited resources (eg. an original drive)
SUntar runs under MacOS and can image (read/write) a raw partition.
What seems to be missing is Emile config tools for MacOS (ala
XPostFacto),
since MacOS is the natural rescue option (it is free, easy,
compatible and
dependable).
And MacLinux Installer 2.7a that will make a ext2 partition and copy
files between partitions MacOS and ext2 but has an awful interface
(SIOUX with occasional dialog boxes, but it is GPL) and uses all the
latest 1999 programs.
PS the www.mac.linux-m68k.org/resources/ FAQ links are mostly broken
(the OLD FTP site is now nerdnet.nl ??)

Checking that now.
