We had Debian m68k on a Mac SE-30 with 4 megs of ram, a 40 meg HD, and the root filesystem on a 100 meg Zip disk at LinuxWorld. We put speakers around it and set the Empeg on top of it---an EXCELLENT move I think! They came to see what the noise was, thought it was the mac for a second, saw the Empeg, asked about it, then realized "Hey wait a second... This is a MAC SE-30 RUNNING DEBIAN!!" => > Will Debian load on the Mac IIvi (built-in CD & floppy), and if so what > requirements does it have (minimum memory and disk space) for a runnable > system?

I think it won't run on the original 68000 but you have an 020 or 030 in that machine I think anyway. -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux developer PGP: E8D68481E3A8BB77 8EE22996C9445FBE The Source Comes First!
