need a lil' help here:
are there any working linux livecd for the pegasos?
i'd like to try linux before install it, and my peg never seen linux before:)
i have only cdrw in the peg so live dvd is not an option for me.
i have an ubuntu 5.01 live for mac, it hasnt got peg support, the latest ubuntu hasnt got live option on the peg (only install).
any oher distro would be fine (knoppix fe.)
thx! |

There is a liveDVD based on gentoo...
Although it misses my favourite "mc" command, it's full X and there are some usefull apps with it. |

Niktarix should also work as far as I know. Have not tested it myself, but have heard that others has got it to work. Might be a bit outdated now, I'm not sure. |

Hi,
I just downloaded and tested nitarix.
It is great !!
Even firewire was detected as eth2.
Seems to be a full knoppix/kanotix CD, with lots of usefull tools.
Thanx for the hint ... |

hooray, its working now! i post this under niktarix:) first time using linux on my peg!
i burned the iso via makecd on mos and problem solved. winxp suxx:)
it seems fast enough to install a linux on my G3 system - just too many flavours:) opensuse? ubuntu? fedora? which one is the most supported on the peg? |

I think Gentoo is the one, or what are you saying Dave?
Look more on what feels right for you, PegasosII is nowadays well supported in the major PPC GNU/Linux's. |
