Mike and Neil, |
16 |
Thanks for the response. Since that list is quiet right now I'll |
17 |
try here first. It's not specifically a PPC question but more about |
18 |
the way an Apple boots. |
19 |

I have a new Mac Mini and I'm learning about OS X. One fun thing is |
21 |
that the Ardour folks have written ports for Jack (called jackosx) and |
22 |
Ardour so I can actually run Ardour under OS X with X11 support. Cool. |
23 |
|
24 |
The second cool thing that I love about Apple is their ability to |
25 |
boot from external drives. I've built a second copy of OS X on an |
26 |
external 1394 drive and can boot from that instead of the internal |
27 |
drive. Very cool. |
28 |
|
29 |
My question is whether I can put Gentoo on the external drive and |
30 |
get Apple's Open Firmware to boot Gentoo. I do not really want to put |
31 |
Gentoo on the internal drive, at least right now. I'd love to be able |
32 |
to use an external drive to boot to Gentoo instead of OS X. |
33 |
|
34 |
Can this be done? |
35 |
|
36 |
Thanks, |
37 |
Mark |
