ROMS for MOL

[Eric Schwarzkopf]

I have the same questions as Ken below has and perhaps just one more.
If Ken and I do what Clinton sugest, how coul we install (or I should say=
=20
re-install) OS9 though Yellow Dog Linux? There has got to be any eaiser w=
ay=20
to place a ROM of my current hardware and OS so that MOL can use.

If I have to attempt to reinstall my Mac OS through Linu, I think I'll ju=
st=20
leave well enough alone and do without MOL.
