Besides the other linux distros mentioned, you have another more retro type choice http://www.macworld.com/article/2363177/macs/turn-your-g4-era-mac-into-a-next-gen-amiga.html On Tue, Sep 15, 2015 at 2:29 AM, wwp <subscript at free.fr> wrote: > Hello there, > > > complete off-topic, sorry about this, but my former idea was to install > a CentOS on an old mac mini (PPC!).

Hello! I was asking for help on the Freenode channel, and I was pointed here. I have a situation where, using xl, I can create a functional PV domU, with or without pv-grub, but I cannot access the console. Firing up xend and using xm works without trouble. Since xend and company is being deprecated, I would like to transition to using the xl toolstack. The system is an Arch Linux system

Hi, Even now someone is actually installing (i see that from the ftp-server logs) the centos-4/ppc beta-version from announced place. You people have to stand up and _TELL_ me what kind of hardware _IS_ working, so we would know more than already know - 43p works. I can't believe that all those, who installs, does have 43p too? Please? Something, so if it's actually working on

Lately I've been finding that most versions of Syslinux no longer work in the various linux distros I use them in (primarily Mandriva 2006 and Finnix.) When I try to run binaries such as the extlinux it produces the error "bash: ./extlinux/extlinux: cannot execute binary file" which it says for each of the major binaries. As nearly as I can tell, everything but the scripts in fact.

The gnome2 port is broken? I updated the ports tree two time today, but the result is: rss@DaeMoN:/usr/ports/x11/gnome2> sudo make install clean ===> Installing for gnome2-2.4.0 ===> gnome2-2.4.0 depends on file: /usr/X11R6/libexec/cdplayer_applet2 - found ===> gnome2-2.4.0 depends on executable: gnome-cd - found ===> gnome2-2.4.0 depends on executable: gnome-dictionary -

I''ve been using Xen strictly for PV for a while now, but I recently upgraded to hardware capable of HVM domUs. I''m trying to get a really basic HVM instance going so I can get my hands around making them work, in anticipation of using one to run a BSD to act as a firewall for other domUs on the machine. (I like PF.) Also, I might need run windows at some point, I suppose.

Hi, I saw a post you made on a forum quite some time ago about booting linux off a USB drive with compatible bios via ISOlinux. I'm currently trying to do the same thing and keep running into problems with my initrd. This is probably caused by the fact that I don't really know what I'm doing! I was wondering if you found any useful info on the net you could point me in the

Just wondering, what exactly is supported/suggested: I need a comprehensive desktop search functionality. Not only searching for file names but also for content and meta data. The environment is EL6.8 / Gnome2. I have noticed that "beagle" is not part of the distro anymore. Any suggestions for such requirement? Thanks! LF

Hi. Which is the preferable method for booting multiple logical partions via syslinux ? 1. Create seperate logical (fat 32) partitons for 'each' Live CD, extracted and prepared identically via syslinux/syslinux.cfg (sdc5, sdc6,sdc7 etc.) 2. Use Grub2 to attempt to boot seperate logical partitions with the same extracted Live CD plan as above. 3. Use the chain.c32 module that
