Hi Team, I have since gone back to Mac OS 9 <sigh>, and although I have it decked out with games and sexy apps, and emulators - the darn thing just crashes too often (like 5 times a day, compare to Linux's... well, never!). To overcome the (what I believe are) shortcomings in Slackintosh, and to offset the hours and days wasted in compiling SlackBuilds, I recently downloaded 'debian-503-powerpc-xfce+lxde-CD-1.iso', and have not had a chance to try it out yet, but the repository looks well populated with powerpc debs. I need a method of imaging my iBook hard drive (not easy, as it does not have molex power connectors (or any for that matter). I will need to do it over the network to a PC, via a boot-disk/ram-disk combination. I have plenty of room for the image, and can run it overnight at 100BaseT speeds (need to back up about 20GB off a 30GB drive). Anyone know if I could do this from the command line of Slackintosh boot cd? This would be totally great if possible - the partition is a HFS Extended (HFS+), which I believe is supported. Maybe a DD command after mounting cifs. Cheers folks, themacmeister
