Greetings all, |
| 2 |
I am testing out PPC linux distros out for a local group. I have had a |
| 3 |
very pleasant experience with Yellow Dog and am now about to embark down |
| 4 |
the Gentoo road. Well looks like soons as I put the key in the ignition |
| 5 |
I have already hit a brick wall. |

The installation of Yellow Dog proceeded fairly smoothly. I was able to |
| 8 |
install BootX, copy the Ram Disk and the VMLinux kernel onto my OS 9 |
| 9 |
partition and was off and running. Well obviously I have got BootX |
| 10 |
installed now, but I can not seem to find the kernel I need to begin the |
| 11 |
boot and install of Gentoo. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
First off when I downloaded the LiveCD 2004.1 I don't even see a directory |
| 14 |
where they would have included BootX. Not a major problem since I already |
| 15 |
have it from YDL. When I look in the boot directory I see initrd.img.gz. |
| 16 |
I assume that this is the RAM disk, I then see several files like G4, |
| 17 |
G4-SMP. I assume these are the needed kernels, but where is G3? I am |
| 18 |
trying to load this up on a Wallstreet Powerbook. |

Any help would be appreciated, |
