How do I use those PowerMac images-1.44?
I am exploring the possibility of planting the Debian GNU/Linux
potatoe on my PowerWave 150, PowerMac clone computer. Booting from
CD is a problem because it is a non-Apple CD-ROM drive and typical
CD's, burned with the Apple CD/DVD Driver as the driver in the driver
partition(s), will not boot this machine. I could re-burn the CD
myself and (probably) make it bootable on this machine using my own
edited copy of the Apple CD/DVD Driver, but I was trying instead to
make the boot floppy. I'd like to have a Linux boot floppy in any
case. I got the rescue 1.44-image named "rescue.bin" from the
<potatoe>/PowerMac/images-1.44 directory using macbinary ftp transfer
mode, but I can't do anything with this "image". I can't do anything
with any of these images. They are not decoded by Stuffit Expander
and are not recognizable by Disk Copy as MacOS disk images. How do I
make a rescue disk from the binary image?
I read the ppc installation guide and didn't find any mention of this problem.
