Knoppix PowerPC for AmigaOne & Pegasos
« on: July 23, 2003, 03:35:41 PM »
Hello
There is an announcement about beta version of Knoppix PowerPC for Mac.
The author is looking for Betatesters on Apple Mac machines.

Knoppix is a CD based Debian Linux that enable user to run Linux on
PowerPC machines without installing Linux PowerPC on hard disk.

Perhaps in the future, there will be a version for AmigaOne and Pegasos.

Using Knoppix CD, AmigaOS and MorphOS user can run Linux on their
machine without installing Linux PowerPC on hard disk.

Is this idea possible?
Can someone suggest the idea to the author?

Knoppix

Hello
Knoppix PowerPC use YABOOT boot manager program that enable several
different version of Kernels inside a single CD. According to Mr Fabian
Franz, it is possible to put together 3 different kernels for Apple, AmigaOne
and Pegasos inside a single boot CD. When the system boot, the user
can choose which kernel version is compatible with his machine.

Yaboot

To Olegil:
Can you help the author (Mr Franz) to create and test Knoppix for
AmigaOne CD?

For AmigaOne user who already install SUSE or other distro,
Knoppix can be used to test Debian Linux. Also if the hard disk
suddenly crash / damaged, Knoppix can be used as emergency
OS, before the hard disk is replaced.
