| 20:40.51 | FreXxX | 'lo |
| 20:43.19 | FreXxX | does this: http://pxe.dev.aboveaverageurl.com/index.php/PXE_Booting/Fedora_Core also apply for fedora ppc? |
| 20:48.41 | ScytheBlade1 | probably not |
| 20:49.05 | FreXxX | hum. thats not good |
| 20:49.08 | ScytheBlade1 | ppc would need a ppc version of pxelinux |
| 20:49.20 | ScytheBlade1 | pxelinux is written in x86 assembly |
| 20:49.39 | ScytheBlade1 | Kind of hard to run straight x86 assembly on a ppc processor |
| 20:49.45 | FreXxX | yeah |
| 20:49.58 | FreXxX | well. i wanna install a ppc-linux with a usual windows. is that possible at all? |
| 20:50.28 | ScytheBlade1 | burn the ppc fedora disc and have at it? |
| 20:51.00 | FreXxX | yeah. if my burner would eat that damn dvd-rws, i would |
| 20:51.11 | ScytheBlade1 | Ah |
| 20:51.29 | FreXxX | and i dont know if the drive of that powerbook works. |
| 20:55.34 | FreXxX | actual, ScytheBlade1. for what would i need pxelinux? |
| 20:55.44 | ScytheBlade1 | boot the linux kernel |
| 20:56.15 | ScytheBlade1 | a linux install does nothing more than load a kernel with a small linux enviroment |
| 20:56.19 | FreXxX | where does it run? im actual not really getting for what i need that |
| 20:56.24 | FreXxX | yeah. allright. |
| 20:56.36 | ScytheBlade1 | The linux kernel itself is not bootable |
| 20:56.44 | ScytheBlade1 | Need to boot it somehow |
| 20:57.44 | FreXxX | so that'll run on the pcc-machine, so therefore it would need to be ppc instead of x86 |
| 20:58.06 | ScytheBlade1 | right, you'd need a ppc pxe bootloader |
| 20:58.46 | FreXxX | hum |
| 20:58.54 | FreXxX | i think o gotta read some more about pxe |
| 20:58.58 | FreXxX | -o+i |
| 21:03.55 | FreXxX | so, a pxe-machine just gets a IP via DHCP, and then downloads the bootmanager via tftp from the server, right, ScytheBlade1? |
| 21:04.08 | ScytheBlade1 | correct |
| 21:04.18 | ScytheBlade1 | "bootmanager" is little more than just some program |
| 21:04.34 | FreXxX | yeah? |
| 21:04.49 | ScytheBlade1 | It's simpler than most people make it out to be |
| 21:11.25 | FreXxX | ah? |
| 21:11.50 | ScytheBlade1 | Well now you know everything you really need |
| 21:11.56 | ScytheBlade1 | Just need to find a proper ppc pxe bootloader |
| 21:12.29 | FreXxX | hum. im watching if open firmware can do that. thats what this mac has instead of a bios, i think |
| 21:37.01 | *** join/##pxe drinkycrow (n=deadbody@74.36.89.78) |
| 21:49.24 | FreXxX | hum. open firmware might be able to boot, so i wouldnt need another bootloader ScytheBlade1 |
| 21:49.30 | FreXxX | did some research |
