<h2>Introduction</h2>
<h3>Welcome to MkLinux!</h3>
<p>MkLinux, as you probably realize, is Apple Computer's Mach 3-based version
of the GNU/Linux operating system. Versions of MkLinux run on the Intel,
PA-RISC, and PowerPC architectures. This document is targeted at people
wanting to use MkLinux on their PowerMacs.</p>
<p>MkLinux Pre-R1 is binary compatible with other PowerPC Linux systems such
as <a href="http://www.linuxpcc.com/">LinuxPPC</a>, so you can use binaries
from other distributions on your MkLinux system. In addition, the file
system MkLinux uses (ext2) is supported by all Linux systems, so you could
access a partition formatted for MkLinux on an Intel-based Linux
distribution.</p>
<P>Please do not contact directly Apple Computer's MkLinux team or Prime Time
Freeware for support on MkLinux. Apple no longer supports MkLinux, and Prime
Time Freeware does not have the resources to help you.</p>
<p>If, after reading these notes carefully, you still have trouble getting
MkLinux to run, please make use of the wide variety of user-contributed
support resources. Specifically, you should start with the "Frequently Asked
Questions" (FAQ) in the <A HREF="http://www.jonh.net/lppcfom-serve/cache/1.html" TARGET="_top">Faq-O-Matic</A>.</p>
<P>If the FAQ does not help you, please use the MkLinux
<a href="../mailinglists.html" target=_top>mailing lists</a>. The
"mklinux-users" list is the most appropriate for any problems you
might encounter while installing MkLinux Pre-R1. When you send a question to
the list, please include as many details as possible, such as what kind of
machine you are running, how much RAM it has, and any error messages you may
have received. The members of the mklinux-users list are helpful, friendly,
and knowledgeable about a wide range of machines.</p>
<h3>How to install MkLinux</h3>
<p>Installing MkLinux requires a fair amount of preparation. MkLinux (as
well as other Unix variants) is quite a bit different than a MacOS system.
Therefore this section is seperated into three parts.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="preparations/index.html" target=_top>
Preparations</a></b> deals mainly with how to partition your disk drive
as well as the tools you can use to do so.</li>
<li><b><a href="installer/index.html" target="_top">Installation</a></b>
is a relatively detailed description of the installation process.</li>
<li><b><a href="whatnow/index.html" target="_top">What Now?</a></b>
is an example of some of the things you might want to do first when you
have finished installing and start MkLinux for the first time.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Getting Started Archives</h3>
<p>The MkLinux Getting Started HTML files are available in two archive
formats:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="ftp://h0005020e3574.ne.mediaone.net/pub/extras/mklinux_install_docs.tar.gz">
mklinux_install_docs.tar.gz</a></li>
<li>
<a href="ftp://h0005020e3574.ne.mediaone.net/pub/extras/mklinux_install_docs.zip">
mklinux_install_docs.zip</a></li>
</ul>
<p><b>These archives are ancient and are not up to date.</b> We do not
know when they will be fixed. Sorry!</p>
<!--<p>These archives are rebuilt automatically each night from a local
copy of the web site. It is possible that there will be small
differences between the archives and the current MkLinux web site contents.
Because the search facilities of the MkLinux web site rely upon the
<a href="http://glimpse.cs.arizona.edu/webglimpse/"
target=_top>WebGlimpse</a> search engine, the find box will obviously
not work with the archive tree provided for download.</p>-->
