MOL running Mac

[Steven Mezzadri]

I would like to try that:

What is the URL for the debian site you used to get these patches?  Did you
ever get alsa sound support working?

It's been a while since I've done this, an this was only because the MOL
that shipped with Yellow Dog Linux was broken for MacOS 9.x, and I have
a G4 machine. I need to sort through my install to see *exactly* what I
did, but I can give you a rough idea of what I did to get my
installation working.

What I have right now is YDL 4.0 installed on a G4/466 desktop running a
2.6.12 kernel.  I grabbed the mol-0.9.70 sources from the Debian site
and applied (I think) up to patch-17 (there's alot of Debian-specific
stuff in those patches, so I think I edited out some of it to get it to
install on my YDL box).  There was also another patch out there that
addresses a performance with newer kernels, as well as another one to
address scheduling priority (I think -- MacOS 9 was *slow* unless I
disabled MOL Audio). 

As I said before, I think most of these patches have been discussed in
this list, but I'll try to collect what I have.  You certainly should
try Greg's gentoo link first, though (I know I will when I upgrade to
Fedora Core 5).

Regards,
Henry
