Thanks a lot for your quick reply, Stew. I have succeded with installing and starting BootX. But the kernel panic seems to occurs because I need more space on the disk... I will add memory and I will install both Mac OS and Mandrake 8.2 on this Mac Performa. Tell me how much MB I should at least install. All the best, Jo.
