precompiled kernel location

precompiled kernel location

[Paul Mackerras]

Someone pointed out that dev.linuxppc.org doesn't have my stuff.  I
can't get into ftp.linuxppc.org to put my stuff there.  Instead it is
available at this location:

ftp://sunsite.anu.edu.au/pub/linux/linux-pmac/

I have had a couple of emails to say that the kernel works on the blue
& white G3.  The thing I forgot to mention is that if you are using X
(i.e. XF68_FBDev) with a USB mouse, you need to edit your XF86Config
to set the mouse protocol to "IMPS/2".  Also, the USB keyboard/mouse
drivers don't yet provide a way to emulate the 2nd and 3rd mouse
buttons using keys on the keyboard.

Ya, but fortunately you can find a cheap 3 button USB mouse at almost any
computer store for under $20.

ftp://ftp.ppc.kernel.org/pub/linuxppc/kernel-images/ also.
