[SLUG] getting SUSE 10.3 on a Mac PowerPC...
Hello! I was hoping to get friendly with Linux so I decided to invite it home. To meet the family, especially my powerPC mac. Does anyone have any tips (instructions? where to get instructions?) on how to install SUSE 10.3 on the powerPC mac? I have burnt the mac version of SUSE 10.3 but don't know what application to open it with. Or which file to open first. Flailing around has been fun, but not very productive. Perhaps I need to boot from the dvd? I'm afraid I don't know how to do it. I restart with the dvd in the drive and it opens up normally to mac os. Any suggestions would be very welcome. Hoping for the best, Stuart. _ Your Future Starts Here. Dream it? Then be it!

It's running Debian Etch perfectly - even the wireless works w/o any problem.
