The only way I could get a Linux going on Nubus Performas was using the MkLinux kernel and bootloader and OS 8.6. I was able to install them and use the Debian ramdisk install image and install a userland. I don't know of any other current working alternative. I think there is still info about the install on my blog, and the pmac sourceforge page had everything I needed. None of the booters worked for me except MkLinux. FYI, Lincoln i have a rock garden. last week three of them died... http://www.pycs.net/users/0000337 -- [email protected] mailing list
