My solution was to use the Suse PowerPC Beta distribution CDROM I got as a door prize. I could not boot from the CDROM (no drive on my board), but I did manually build up a disk filesystem by starting from their initial root and then installing all of their core RPMs on top of it. I ended up with a complete Linux system, including gcc, gdb, etc., about 180 MB total. It works great for me. It is a great convenience to have the embedded board hosted on another Linux system which is the NFS fileserver for the board; they of course share all logins. This board is a 200 MHz 750 with 64 MBytes SDRAM, so it is just a bit bigger than most embedded systems. Now to get the other two CPUs running....
