Philip,
The ST, maybe (except for the only-in-museums part), but the TT
and Falcon run Debian GNU/Linux just finely.
Linux ara5.mirbsd.org 3.11-2-m68k #1 Debian 3.11.7-1 (2013-11-09)
m68k GNU/Linux
(Hm, should dist-upgrade and reboot that box, too.)
I'm still not following. You are talking about a 30 year old computer
running at like 16 MHz with maybe 512k of ram?
20 years, 80 to 100 MHz 68060 and 520 MB RAM (see link in Jon's mail -
I've got one chugging along in my basement for years, which I use for
kernel development). Supported by Linux in one form or other since 1994
or so. First Debian architecture supported after i386. Still missing
something?
We've had a few reports from Falcon users trying to prepare a disk for
installing Linux on. Missing libparted support for Atari partition
format is one of the installation problems they are facing. There is a
patch available to implement that - this would go some way to get these
people started. Available alternatives are HDDriver (non-free) or
atari-fdisk (old fdosk look--alike, horrible kludge, may not cope well
with today's large disks).
Any other questions?
Cheers,
Michael
