Linux will NOT work on:
 
Any 68k macintosh with a PowerPC upgrade card (this isn't the same
thing as a whole motherboard replacement in which case you are fine)
 
Linux-pmac will not work with most NuBus PowerPC machines because they
do not have Open Firmware.  An experimental kernel exists for x100
family machines (6100, 7100, 8100, and family).  LinuxPPC also will
not work with early performas (except the 54xx and 6360), and the
PowerBook 2300/5300/1400.

MkLinux R1 should support all of the above machines.

started 1/28/97 jcarr@linuxppc.org
drastically updated 08/03/2000 dgatwood@mklinux.org

The 1400 has been found to work with several tweaks, but it still lacks many functions like external SCSI support, and `PCMCIA' support.  I've not heard anything concerning the 1400 lately and a small group of coders should get together and remedy this.

Will the iMac work with Mklinux or LinuxPPC.

I'm getting what the install instructions calls the "bootstrap" error on startup.
The suggestion in the instructions is that I need to store my "mach_servers"
folder on a SCSI disk for the install process.  But, I'm one of those unfortunate
folk who purchased an iMac.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get 
MKlinux to install?

Maybe an iMac rev.B.

I've got LinuxPPC trying to boot into XServer for the install, but after a couple of seconds the hard drive spins down and the monitor turns off.

I think there's an iMac-specific ramdisk image out there somewhere.

does the ibm 860 (type 7249) work with linux?
i noticed an 850, but no 860's.

I have a Power Computing 120T.  What linux distribution will work on this machine?
It uses the NuBus architecture.
