The stuff you need is there. Go up a level to
http://ftp.caliu.cat/pub1/distribucions/yellowdog/releases/yellowdog-3.0
and pick one. I've successfully run 3.0 on a powerbook 3400. The Mac
specific parts are down in the tree. For example, for version 6.0,
yaboot and ofboot are in:
/pub1/distribucions/yellowdog/releases/yellowdog-6.0/os/ppc/mac/
The 6.0 distribution has iso images, too. See:
/pub1/distribucions/yellowdog/releases/yellowdog-6.0/os/images/
Best of luck.

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I have a need to prove that some 20'th century software can run with
only 20'th century software on 20'th century Apple hardware. (It's
complicated and has to do with a court case.)
The package I need to demonstrate was supported on Linux, but not
MacOS 9.
I believe that if I can install YellowDog 1.2 or Champion Server 1.2
or (possibly) ppcLinux 2000, the rest of the project will be trivial.
I've found the repository at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ftp.caliu.cat/pub1/distribucions/yellowdog/releases/champion-1.2">http://ftp.caliu.cat/pub1/distribucions/yellowdog/releases/champion-1.2</a>
This site has the contents of what I believe was the install ISO, but
no bootable iso image (though the instructions suggest that there was
such an image).
I'm working with a gray clamshell iBook (model 2453), with a 6 G
drive and USB (no firewire) and New World Rom.
My success to date has been extracting yaboot from the rpm file,
and copying that, install/vmlinux and install/ramdisk.image.gz onto
a small HFS partition on the hard drive.
The yaboot.conf resembles:
image = vmlinux
label = install
append = "ramdisk_size=64000 load_ramdisk=1"
initrd = hd:10,hdramdisk.image.gz
I can boot to the OpenFirmware monitor, and start yaboot with:
boot hd:10,\yaboot
Following that with:
boot> install
This gets as far as
booting...
And hangs.
I tried copying the vmlinux and ramdisk-text.image.gz from the
YellowDog 2.0 distribution, and these tools will boot, but I can't
install from the 1.2 CDROM (the installation scripts are looking for
Pomona.)
Would someone have a clue? Or better yet, an old copy of the
Champion install ISO?
For background, I'm not a strong Mac guy, but I've been hacking Unix
since the mid 80s. and Linux since the mid-1990s.
Thanks,
Clif
