Actually it was for LinuxPPC 2000 (just tested again the Q4 release),
and it did _not_ use BootX: there is no BootX window appearing, you go
(went) directly to Linux, using miBoot (with a 156K system folder).
This was really nice since IIRC, it was the only distribution to boot
directly into linux from the CD for both OldWorld and NewWorld. Pity
it's not done any more...
