I know, heresy! ;-) Anyone ever tried it? I guess you can load up MkLinux on a 5300 and it will work OK, but I'm more interested in monolithic linux. I've heard it's possible to install Yellow Dog Linux on a 6100 if you get the nubus enabled kernal <http://nubus.tuxppc.org/> which is supposed to enable you to run a PPC linux distro on the Power Macintosh 6100, 7100, 8100 and compatibles, PowerBook 1400, 2300, 5300 and Performa 5200, 6200, 6300... But I don't actually know anyone who has done it to a PowerBook. Anyone done it?
Curiously, Mandrake's database says it is "supported" on the 5300 <http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/hard-details.php3?F_TYPE=laptop&; F_ID=3516> Don't know about that, but maybe it's using the nubus kernel too.... I was thinking about making my 5300ce (whenever I get it - bought on the swap list and awaiting delivery) a dual boot machine - what do you guys think, too much effort? ;-) Peace, Drew -- Having graduated (with a physics BS :-P), I will be using the email address <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Please update your address book. <http://homepage.mac.com/alk/> "Anyone can fly, all you have to do is throw yourself at the ground and miss." -Douglas Adams, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
