> Hello, I'm new to this list and Linux in general.
I am using a Mac Clone and have installed Linux on it but to make use of
it I need to be able to do a couple of things that I cant seem to find
in the Man or help files.
In order to install Linux on my machine I downloaded the iso for :
debian/PPC
suse 6.3 beta for PPC
LinuxPPC 2000
Yellowdog Linux
and while I have been able to install all of them I have had the best
luck with the yellowdog linux based on redhat. I have linux installed
on a separate SCSI Hard drive from the Mac OS so at startup I select
which OS to run Mac OS 9 or Linux. But to get started with linux I need
some help. I know of no one in this state running Linux and my ISP is
about useless.
#1- KDE and redhat have some internet setup and configuration tools but
they seem to be set up to use dial in and a modem connected to the
serial port. I live in western South Dakota and have a cable modem
connected to a fiber optic connection ( black hills fibercom) and this
connectes to my machine through my computers built in ethernet
connection.
How do I connect to my ISP?
#2- Most of my files are on one of my Mac os Hard drives usually HFS.
how do I get linux to see my mac partitions so that I can transfer files
between the two OS's?
you can comment to the list or to me personally or to my icq.
