What do you mean when you say that it doesn't fit? According to your posts to debian mailing lists that I just found, your hard disk is 8GB, which should be plenty for a full Linux install. There should be no problem with plain PowerPC kernels, as long as you use your chosen bootloader (BootX, miBoot, quik) properly. Unfortunately, it's not at all obvious how to do that with recent kernels; however, it's very easy once you know how. NuBus kernels will NOT work on that machine. Which distribution would you prefer to install? Debian? Ubuntu? Gentoo? OpenSUSE? YellowDog? Slackintosh? ArchLinux? CRUX? All of those are possible, with varying amounts of work and usefulness. I would be glad to walk you through an installation of your choice. I'm a bit biased toward the miBoot method of booting OldWorld models such as yours, which takes a bit more work to set up, but it's probably the most trouble-free solution currently available. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
