Mac Projects - LinuxPPC on PowerMac 8500

Submitted by tachyon on February 24, 2005 - 5:28am

The copy of LinuxPPC I was given for this experiment was from 2000. Therefore I presume some of the issues outlined below may be as a result of this.

Installed successfully, it wasn't the smoothest installation in the world, due to not knowing which partition Linux was on after partitioning the drive.

It only had Gnome installed, and I prefer KDE. So I figured I'd take the KDE 3.2 I have and install it. So it needed to be decompressed. Figured out how to use bunzip, and got the KDE files off the CD.
