Well, the knoppix people probably could not help because (and correct me if I'm wrong) PPC is not a popular port for Knoppix. I asked on a few Yellow Dog list and they sorta indicated I was a fool for even trying (since I should only run installed YDL?) And the Ubuntu forum was not very responsive to my request I think, like asking BSD questions on Mac forums, they know it's relevant, but it still scares them :) BTW the Mac forums where dead quite to the question and the XUsers group had never heard of the use of this advanced boot loader / small host os thing to read and load OS from a file. Eventually some one smarter then I shall port something cool, and when they do I will say "Hey that's cool" :) Not a big deal, when I get some cash I am thinking about picking up a F/W drive and just loading a few things on their. I just wanted to play with a few live distro's and use the CD/DVD-R drive On Thu, 14 Apr 2005, ec wrote: > Join and ask the forums on knoppix.net. ??? > > --- Bryan.ONeal@asu.edu wrote: > > > Hehehe, yha, but can you do it on a PPC using soft > > partitions (disk images of > > .iso or .dmg files?) ie. boot to a disk image on my > > G4.... > > > > A while back I had a modified loader (from some one) > > that read .iso files as > > active CDROMS and loaded them as if they came from > > the CDROM.
