The only significant addition to the new iMacs is the "New World" interface. This, if I remember correctly, posed some problems this summer when we tried to boot one of the iMacs at Macworld off the Linux CD. Has anyone messed around with booting an iBook with the Linux kernel? If this obstacle can be leaped, I'm sure the iMac will be easily booted also. What about the G4's? Anyone seen one of those Sawtooth machines, (not the Yikes!, since Yikes! is still the G3 architecture with a G4 slapped on)? All three of these have "New World" ROMs, so getting one to work should be enough to get all to boot. Alex ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
