I got several responses to my post. They all asked why I didn't just load the OSX version and use that...
I work in one of the few high schools in the country that is still mostly Mac. We also have a lot of Cisco network gear. I would like to use some of the software tools that Cisco has available to manage the equipment but Cisco is not a Mac friendly company. One of their tools requires a browser java plugin that is only available for Windows, Solaris and Linux. My thought was to get Linux running on OSX, then Firefox running on Linux, and then try the plug on Firefox to see if I could get that to work for the management tool.
I'm not sure where LinuxPPC stands these days, but you could find out. Meanwhile, as you know, MacOS X is built upon an implementation of the FreeBSD version of Unix. This is what Fink gets at. It might also work for you to set up a Fink installation and install its firefox package, shared library, and possibly the related firefox development package. If you could make this approach work, it would be a lot more straightforward, and also would make it unnecessary to repartition your computers' hard drives. --Jonathan
