Sorry so late, I was gone for a few days. I grabbed and loaded the
kernel you pointed to and I have a login prompt, thanks.

I will try to get setup run tonight and see where I end up.

this sound interesting, if any of you could provide detailed
instructions (either on a personal webpage or, better, on slackintosh
wiki[1]) about how to set up an oldworld machine will receive much
appreciation (and eternal glory, obviously) :-)

Well I got a chance this afternoon, didn't take long. I downloaded and placed the Debian kernel, started BootX, selected the kernel and wa-la. I have Linux. I setup my swap and root partitions using mac-fdisk and proceeded to run setup, swap and / are working and the installer proceeded to install from the CD....
Can't find my CDROM drive, tried every option, no joy. Can I add a kernel option in BootX to locate my cd drive? (Mac system profiler says it is on ATA1, ID 0). 

Thanks,

DAve

logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
