First, thanks to all of you. With the help of these lists, I've gotten
linuxppc 2000 up and running in an afternoon.
If it helps anyone, here's a summary:
-- the gig of RAM I bought for the machine is no good -- never got to boot
the installer, but after taking out two of the DIMMs it fired right up
and installed with no more than the usual hassles. And still pretty
extravagant with 500 megs
-- G4 means yaboot, but it's not that hard, especially, I imagine, with ATA
drives. I'm also using Ben H's 2.2.15pre14 kernel
-- scsi drives mean you need the full path to the hardware. it's a pain but
you can find all the information you need at the O.F. prompt.
Details are all in recent posts by the people who did the hard work.
Barry
