Better yet, does anybody have a > pre-compiled PPC kernel version 2.4? you could build a cross compiler for powerpc, i once looked into doing this when i was stuck with linuxppc and its broken compiler, i decided waiting until i could get debian installed was a better idea ;-) (iow its a royal pain) i assume you can build an RS-6000 kernel on any powerpc machine including macs right? id build one for you (or let you build it yourself) but i have a slow connection and no 2.4 source trees around.. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
