As of 6-13-97, the most up-to-date info for switching from MkLinux to linux-pmac,
as well as getting linux-pmac from scratch, are on Paul Mackerra's 
install instructions at  
ftp://cap.anu.edu.au/pub/linux-pmac/INSTALL

wj@acpub.duke.edu  6/13/97

The home site is ftp://cap.anu.edu.au with mirrors at 
ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/mirrors/pmac   The Australian site is the home
and has the most recent files.
 
Here are the files to get for a statically linked verion of Linux/PMac
(in no particular order).
 
vmode.tar.gz
bootvars-1.3.sit.hqx
clock.tar.gz
kernel-source/v2.1/linux-pmac-970425.tar.gz (kernel source code if you want it)
Quik-MacOS.*.sit.bin
nvsetenv.tar.gz
nvvideo.tar.gz
ppc-howto
RPMS/modutils-2.1.23-2static.ppc.rpm
RPMS/quik-1.1.1-1.ppc.rpm
RPMS/kernel-headers-2.1.24-1.ppc.rpm 
v2.1/vmlinux.gz (the latest kernel, needs to be gunzipped)
 
 
The key to installing this is to start with a fresh install of MKLinux 
and then install these files over it.  Follow the instructions in 
the file ppc-howto with the following changes:
 
- change all references to milo to quik (the new name)
- change all references to Milo-MacOS-0.1 to Quik-MacOS*
- all of the editing of the network files has already been done so skip
  those instructions
- *** Turn off your modem when booting into Linux/PMac since it confuses
  the boot with OpenFrimware (it thinks the modem is an input device)
  After booting you can turn the modem back on ***
 
You might want to check out the following links and join the 
Linux/PMac listproc.

Instead of installing fdeject, vmode, clock, nvsetenv, nvvideo and 
sndvolmix manually, I would suggest to get a copy of pmac-utils. 
Version 0.5 contains man-pages!
pmac-utils-0.5-1.ppc.rpm requires shared-lib support (oeps).
If you do not have shared-lib support I suggest to: (get it :-)) 
   install the SRPM version, 
or install the tar-version. 
You can find these at:    ftp.fys.ruu.nl    /uploads/hees
 
If you use the tar-version (very convenient); simply do "make install"
and "make installdevs" (to install the pmac-devices) as root.
Note that a working compiler and kernel-headers (>= 2.1.24) are 
required!
 
Any questions,
