Right now all of the machines are booting using AIX as the OS. I know I will have to have a special kernel for the ppc and prep as well but I do not beleive that I can compile it on AIX? I almost had debian installed on the system at one point but was having trouble with the bootloader( yaboot i think) not to mention i really dont like debian i scrapped it and have been trying to find a way to install gentoo ever since. |
