This vmlinux+installer is useful linuxppc/R5 in linuxppc box,too. There is . Kaoru Fukui Sun 10 Jan 1999 ** How to install as MkLinux** 1. Download many RedHat/RPMS files from ftp://ftp.linux.org/pub/linuxppc/linuxppc-pre-R5/RedHat/RPMS. Not use for linuxppc files. (kernel-pmac,kernel-prep,kernel-source,kernel-chrp,pmac-utils,linuxconf ) Put RPMS files on ext2. Remove filenames for linuxppc in comps, or use Installer-on-MkLinuxG06R5/RedHat/base/comps,it's alredy rewrite . Download RedHat/base/hdlist and put it in RedHat/base. 2. Download these files from ftp://ppc.linux.or.jp/pub/users/fukui/Drugstore-in-Rawhide/Installer-on-MkLinux-G06R5 /*. Add four files from Installer-on-MkLinux-G06R5/RedHat/RPMS/* to Redhat/RPMS installed. (clock-mklinux,mklinux-release,mklinux_server,rc.loca-linuxppc) Add these filenames in comps,or use My comps. 3. Uncompress Mac_Files.sit, put in MacOS. 4. Put mach_servers in MacOs. 5. Go restart Mac. [note] I istalled R5 useing these files on PM6100. Then Select custom,Scsi driver is no,Disk Setup,use fdisk, Edit Partition is "/", Do link for startx function," cd /etc/X11,ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/Xpmac X" [Problem] The comps has many bugs.Take care. Xfree86-3.3.3-10d.ppc.rpm could not nomeal end. It,s works fine, but hitkey "ctrl D" to go freeze. I used to end "sync,reboot","sync,halt". More problem, it's not X_LOCAE, Xemacs doesnot work. Mac_Files.sit have "Mach kernel" from globegate.utm.edu/MkLinux generic 06. The other fuiles are same. >Installing the Mac OS-side files >================================ >There are five files in the "Mac Files" folder. Copy the two files "MkLinux >Booter" and "Mach Kernel" to your Extensions folder. Copy the control panel >"MkLinux" to your Control Panels folder. Copy the two files "lilo.conf" and >"MkLinux.prefs" to your Preferences folder. >The initial boot of MkLinux just runs the installer. Currently, things are Vmlinux+installer was rebuilt using "Mklinux generic 06" and "Linuxppc release 5's installer". I got ramdisk.image.gz-RH5-new from Martin's , it's have not /dev/* and not /mnt. Installer said "can not mount". I fixed that. Thanks Martin. Enjoy Rawhide on MklinuxG06! Thanks Kaoru Fukui [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
