I've only _barely_ played with that, with not any real sucess. From
what I've read in the lists, no. That doesn't mean that it can't be
done and from what I gather, Samuel? and others have tried, but some
parts don't work yet preventing it. I also have read that this isn't
necessarily a high priority either....

Given that OSX doesn't boot - is it possible that Linux would boot?

<excerpt>Hi all,
I know that Mac On Linux was intended to be a program that lets PPC
Linux users run MacOS or another Linux in a separate PPC environment
on their machine. But I read somewhere that Mac On Linux can actually
run natively in Mac OS X, so you could use OS X as your primary OS and
just have a little PPC linux environment in a window (so it'd be like
Linux On Mac). I'd sort of like to do this. However, I know that you
have to make some adjustments to the Mac On Linux source code in order
for it to compile in OS X. Does anyone know how to do this (i.e. what
changes to make to the source)? I downloaded the source yesterday and
tried to compile as-is, but got the following errors:
Compiling zconf-y.o : cc1: internal compiler error: Bus error
make[2]: *** [.objs-osx/zconf-y.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [sub-kconfig-all] Error 2
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 1
If anyone can help me get MOL running on OS X (assuming it's still
possible), that would be really cool. I'm running Mac OS X 10.3.5 on
a 1 GHz iMac G4.
Thanks,
Fred Hope
