Re: Kernel for PowerPC (AppleMac)

[Michael D. Crawford]

Woody works great on powerpc Macintoshes. I'm typing this on an old 8500 - Woody has brought new life to a six year old computer, it's my main machine for browsing and email, and also serves as a masquerading gateway for my office lan.

You will need more than just a kernel, you will also need all the user executables, config files, the whole distro. Woody has these.

You should subscribe to debian-powerpc and ask for tips there. Also see:

I think what you have is an Old World machine. If your Mac has the old kind of rom that contained actual system software, rather than just being used for booting, then you have an old world machine. You will need to know that for when you install.
