The short answer is NO. As far as I know, only micro-kernel Linux (http://www.mklinux.org) works on 6/7/8100 series of Power Macs which have NuBus instead of a PCI bus. PPC Linux requires PCI bus. I used MkLinux about 5 years ago on a 8100 class PowerMac, but now I believe MkLinux is practically dead. regards, -- Amal Phadke email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
