Hello listers,
Upstairs I have an older 6360 humming away installing YDL 2.3 without
any sort of effort. I have to use bootX to get it to work but all
seems well. I tried 3.0 first and I kept getting signal errors when
booting from YDL 3.0 installer's RAMDISK image. I tried installing
2.3's older bootX installer as I had better luck last time I put Linux
on this particular machine and then dropped the new RAMDISK image into
the Linux Kernels folder and again a failure. This time the installer
environment would not start up. 2.3 seems to be working nicely. My
plan is to install on a larger 40 gig drive and use the 6360 as a
netatalk and SMB fileserver for the house.
Two questions:
Can I get the 3.0 install to work at all?
Can I use apt or yum to update up to 3.0 from a fresh 2.3 installation?
If so, can someone forward me a copy of their sources.list file?
Yeah, I know...Three questions, but I could use the help. It's been a
long time since I had to wrangle with bootX.
Thanks!
