IIRC Mac's are PReP and work. I don't have any access to old 6k machines,
I'm going to read through the HOWTO and various other docs, take apart the
install images, etc:
http://www.linuxvoodoo.com/resources/howtos/HOWTO/IBM7248-HOWTO/index.html
and see what would need doing, but it's not my primary concern for the
moment. It also won't happen before next week. Fixing the bits for a smooth
Mac installation comes first.
OK keep me posted please , I've had deb on this
box in the past, so I know
linux will run on it. it's just a matter of having the bootstrap for it's
firmware I guess. I'm in no rush, the 7428 is my play toy for the moment.
