Starting to accept that I'm not going to be able to get Linux onto my
PB170. For anyone that's familiar with it, I get to the screen with the
benguin, then the console does not load. So my next bet is to try
NetBSD - or perhaps FreeBSD? I'm really not sure here.
Aslo, I'm not sure if the 40mb HD in the 170 is going to cut it. I need
a minimal system folder (2mb) and room for ClarisWorks and a few megs of
docs, so say a 5 or 10mb MacOS partition. 4mb of Swap space leaves me
with a 25mb linux/netbsd/whatever partition. All I want on it, as
stated before, is gcc and an editor. Is this going to cut it in any
way, and how the heck do I get started?
Barring the possibility of what I described above, what are the
prospects for a bigger HD in the 170? to I jsut go find a big SCSI
drive of the same (physical) size and pop it in? I'm feeling more and
more lost by the minute here, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks all,
Leigh Honeywell
