You need to copy the kernel to use (for the 2004.0 cd use the G4 kernel) |
| 13 |
and the initrd.img.gz to the /System Folder/Linux Kernels/ then install |
| 14 |
BootX and run the BootX App or reboot. You need to Select the initrd |
| 15 |
under the ramdisk image in the options section and make sure the ramdisk |
| 16 |
size is over 32000. IIRC, for the arguments set (but this is off the |
| 17 |
top of my head): |
| 18 |
rw init=/linuxrc looptype=gcloop cdroot |

Thats the general steps for booting the livecd with BootX. I'm testing |
| 21 |
some instructions for booting the livecd on OldWorld Macs with BootX to |
| 22 |
be add to the handbook sometime. I should be posting them to Bug #46534 |
| 23 |
on bugs.g.o sometime today, hopefully. |

Give a man a password, he'll log in for a day. Teach him to code, and he |

will hack his way in... |
