The only prior knowledge that this book assumes is middle school science and the ability to communicate in English. One book I am using is this one, which is available online for free: That is one thing that I am attempting to understand the process of. This site explains everything to where anyone and I do mean anyone can do it, right?īy that I mean it assumes no prior knowledge and starts completely from scratch? (in terms of the OS/etc., that is) I inquire about this because truly from scratch would mean going out and locating and mining the raw materials and building a computer from the ground up that way. It's now ugly and doesn't work - I am going to try the linux from scratch website you advised but I have to ask a few obligatory questions first. the prats are wrecking your beautiful live distro.
totally pointless as the ppc architecture is a dead end. that will get you about 2% of the way to understanding how your specific hardware works.
you will have to learn all about ppc (dead end) architecture first. If you "want to know everything about computers" then you have to roll your own. and also know when to call it a day when something will take too long to fix to make the trouble worthwhile. the people who never have to ask stupid questions because they go and find their own answers. the people who know what they are talking about instead of the plug and pray fools. always better to go with the major releases not the kiddy toys if you want to learn, because that's where the full time long term professional production machine users live. just because they have heaps of money behind them doesn't make their product any good. Or you could really push the boat out and try solaris 9 well in linux world that will probably be gentoo. Is all that correct? If I missed something or I'm incorrect on a couple of things, please let me know. I guess after that I just follow the directions on the screen.
I think after I do that then I will be able to boot my computer from the Linux Ubuntu alternate install disc. (I'm not sure about this though) This is for my Compaq desktop. After that, I put the dvd into my dvd drive and then I press F10 until I enter bios setup. Next, I use Imgburn to burn that iso image onto a dvd. So, I think I know what I need to do but I just want to clarify with you all here that I'm doing everything correctly.Īnd I download the "Alternate install CD" link, right? Just make sure to look in the alternate downloads section and make sure you are getting a PPC version. He said that I should go to this website:
I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my Mac Powerbook G4 based off of advice of an online computer tech I chatted with.
