2 ways - both require hacking the CD data:
1) edit /Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/modules.pm and change:
if_(arch() =~ /ppc/,
if_($type =~ /scsi/, 'mesh', 'mac53c94'),
to
if_(arch() =~ /ppc/,
if_($type =~ /scsi/, 'mesh'),
2) modify Mandrake/mdkinst/lib/modules.cz-2.4.18-4mdkBOOT and remove the
mac53c94 module
This is an archive accessible with packdrake, but I don't see a packdrake
command to remove something from the archive, so you may have a probelm
there.
In both cases, depending on the type of install, you may need to bunzip2
mdkinst_stage2.bz2 and make the same changes there.
If you don't already have a linux environment of some type, both of these
will be difficult to do.
