Hello Peter! I can feel with you, reinstalling since 2 years at least 10 times linux, still not having a possibility to make backups.... Ok, how I solved the problem with direct booting: - I took the suseboot-file from the CD SuSe-Linux 7.0 - Putted it into a partition called "Linux boot" - Replaced the Kernel "vmlinux" with that one of CD SuSe-Linux 7.3 - Gave it the name "vmlinux" - modified the file suseboot on partitioin "Linux boot" like it is described in the german book "SuSe Linux 7.3, PowerPC Edition-das Handbuch" from page 111 - I didn't change the OpenFirmware. - Just mark yaboot bootable. suseboot looks exactly like this: - BootX Extension - BootX App - Finder - os-chooser (as SimpleText File) - System - tools (with MacGzip, mark os-chooser bootable, mark yaboot bootable, pdisk) - vmlinux - yaboot - yaboot.conf (as SimpleText File) - yaboot.debug With this configuration, my Computers (both Cube and PB3 FireWire) start up with Linux. To start the MacOS I have to press down the alt key. I hope, it will help you! Peter, Berne, Switzerland Am Freitag den, 19. Juli 2002, um 08:08, schrieb Peter Haas:
Hello,
I`ve got a further question: Can you boot linux from your HD, if yes, how did you set it up
- just the simple installation? -konfiguring with LiLo with Linux? -konfiguring with special Scripts with MacOS? -konfiguring in the OpenFimware? I`m nearly fed up with reinstalling, and I am not content with just booting from CD.

Hi,
I have running OS 9/OS X and Suse 7.1 ppc running, all on 1 HD.
1 big HFS+ partition with both OS 9 and OS X, 1 small HFS boot partition to boot Linux, 1 larger ext2 partition, and a swap
I uses yaboot to select with space bar the 'current' active Mac OS, otherwis it boots linux
this works on a new-world slot loading iMac
