I just joined this list, so I don't know if this subject has been |
| 2 |
covered before. I have a PowerMac 6100/60. Unfortunately, its pre-PCI, |
| 3 |
so its *cringe* NuBus. Well, I'm currently running YellowDog Linux 2.1 |
| 4 |
on it using a custom kernel patched with support for NuBus that i cross |
| 5 |
compiled from one of my x86 boxes. Can this same thing be done with Gentoo? |
| 6 |
I was skimming the PPC Install doc and it said something about |
| 7 |
auto-probing PCI hardware, which if I'm not mistaken, would cause the |
| 8 |
box to lock up. So, even if I compiled a custom kernel, would I get |
| 9 |
caught here trying to install? |
| 10 |
If I can get past this, are there any other pitfalls that anyone else |
| 11 |
who has done this before would care to tell me about? Also, does anyone |
| 12 |
have a URL to a doc on how to set up a cross-compiler in Gentoo? |
| 13 |
I've installed Gentoo many times on x86 boxes and love it. It has |
| 14 |
quickly become my favorite distribution. I want all of my computers to |
| 15 |
be running Gentoo :) |
