Speaking of LiveCDs ... |

I've recently aquired an "OldWorld" Mac (PowerPC 7500/100 with a G3 250 |
| 10 |
upgrade installed), and have upgraded the hard drive from a 700 to a 2 |
| 11 |
and 4GB, and would very much like to install Gentoo on the 4. However, |
| 12 |
it appears that the CD doesn't initialize my SCSI controller, or SCSI |
| 13 |
support and there don't appear to be any SCSI-related modules to load to |
| 14 |
diagnose the problem. |
| 15 |
|

Unfortunately I've only got 128MB of RAM, so there's not really enough |
| 17 |
space to roll my own kernel, and I can't access any of my drives to |
| 18 |
create any temp space (no ATA controllers are present), and since the |
| 19 |
Gentoo 1.2 images appear to have been removed from all mirrors I find |
| 20 |
myself at somewhat of a loss. :/ |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I'm currently exploring other options (SuSE, Tom's Rootboot, Knoppix, |
| 23 |
etc.) but would rather see Gentoo improved than rely on third party |
| 24 |
support. If there's anything I can do to help, any input I can provide, |
| 25 |
or anything I can test, please don't hesitate to drop me a line at |
