I got the full Linux PPC 2000 down and burned it this morning ;-)
At work, we have PCs and Macs which I have to maintain ;-).
So I lobbed the bin image over the network to our mac, un binhexed it.
Lobbed the .img into toast and wrote the CD ;-)
It's a shame you cannot handle ISO's too well on Toast (well not at all).
Fortunately we have CD Writers on both my PC and the Mac in our office.
Let the fun begin....., Debian failed, lets hope Linux PPC 2000 works ;-)
