| 44097 | 2002-04-16 09:14:00 | I want to show my IT teacher the Linux OS and I was wondering if there were any versions of linux that run on a mac and it only uses a floppy or 2? Simon |

Have a look at ftp.mklinux.apple.com/pub/Full_Release/ and read the READMEs. Looks as if you have to make some linux partitions on the MAC disk then use the CD to install. Did you finally get your dialup working properly? |
