not really. it's not a matter of linux-to-PPC linux translation. FS doesn't run on a full linux OS distribution. it's embedded linux, which is like saying an OS only capable of operating one app; it's not a whole OS. windows must be present in order to install and run FS. the embedded linux app creates a virtual partition within windows inside of which all the FS/OS-level stuff takes place.
it's conceivably possible to run FS within Virtual PC on the mac, but i doubt it would ever actually work. just be patient and wait for the mac version. it'll be native OSX, rather than a linux/windows work around, so when it finally comes out it should be very solid. comb through the FS message boards on the stanton site. there's tons of info about this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "logic7" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Kookie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "scotto" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 11:51 AM Subject: RE: (313) Final Scratch mac Q > In theory, Final Scratch could simply be recompiled for PPC versions of > Linux.
