| 16:45.40 | Pavlz | hello |
| 16:46.28 | Pavlz | i got an old apple powerpc g3 to 266 mhz |
| 16:47.02 | Pavlz | the svga on board is an ATI |
| 16:47.28 | Pavlz | i would to install GNU/linux |
| 16:47.54 | Pavlz | which one is supported ? |
| 16:54.19 | pahartik | Pavlz: Debian GNU/Linux |
| 17:00.35 | pahartik | Pavlz: Booting can be somewhat challenging to set up, but it should be otherwise stable |
| 17:03.50 | Pavlz | i don't find the complete distribution for cd |
| 17:04.03 | Pavlz | and boot from fd |
| 17:09.16 | pahartik | Pavlz: Boot with BootX through traditional MacOS, assuming it is OldWorld system... Kernel image and ramdisk image (with installer) required... |
| 17:10.23 | Pavlz | i don't wnt BootX |
| 17:10.44 | pahartik | Pavlz: After installing, "quik" can be used to boot from "ext2" "/boot/", whether traditional MacOS is installed or not |
| 17:10.54 | Pavlz | just BootX requires mac os classic |
| 17:14.26 | pahartik | Pavlz: Traditional MacOS is required for BootX, yes... Booting from floppy disk should be possible under some circumstances, but I have never used that to install on PowerPC |
| 17:19.53 | Pavlz | for GNU/linux is a more simple |
| 17:20.16 | Pavlz | i am thinking to try netbsd |
| 17:21.44 | Pavlz | the support is good, but is necessary to compile and access via serial port |
| 17:23.29 | Pavlz | the serial port is a 422 not 232, so i must create a cable to convert from rs422 to 232 bidirectional |
| 17:25.30 | Pavlz | GNU/linux and netbsd have in common anything |
| 17:27.52 | pahartik | Pavlz: Interaction with OpenFirmware console mostly requires serial port terminal on OldWorld systems... |
| 17:28.44 | Pavlz | infact |
| 17:29.03 | Pavlz | mine is an old world |
