I started following this mailing list more or less interested, since it was recommended in a Mac-magazine.
Which one if i may ask?
I never found a link to place certain questions, most topics seem to be too specialiced.
Well, this mailing list deals with topics around Linux on PPC Hardware... That is a very general description which also includes special problems with Linux on PPC...
[Linux and MacOS X on the same HD]
Meanwhile I can`t start it again, my Theory is, that I tried to unpack to much to big programs with to low space on the linux-partition. My HD is "just" 7GB big, and regarding my origin interest, I should tell, that SusE PPC is obsolete, but on the other hand:
- I just bought the "Das Telefonbuch, map&route- CD" from the Deutsche Telekom - It doesnt work in an Mac-Enviroment - There were files called "Linux..."-somehow on the CD
Well, unfortunately, "Linux" doesn't always mean the same as "Linux". I suppose the Telekom provides you with some pieces of software that have been compiled for the x86 platform. These binaries can't be executed on PPC hardware...
but:
- repeating the complete setup with the one extra GB on the linux-partition for the Telefonbuch-installation (still just old-boot-CD startable?)
If the Telefonbuch-installer can be executed on PPC, you probably don't need to reboot your iMac for that...
Yours, Christian I read the hint in the "Mac up", the author is a professor for Informatik.
