Yellow Dog Linux 2.3 found!

[PowerPup]

I've been wanting to get YDL 2.3 or 3.0 for a long time so I could try it out on my PowerMac 6100. But I couldn't find the CD images anywhere. I finally found a site with the iso for YDL 2.3! :rambo:

It hosts ISOs for 2.0 through 2.3.

http://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/yellowdog/iso/

I also found this site which hosts ISOs for 4.0 and 4.1 (as well as 5.0)

Install guides can be found here:

MD5SUMS for YDL 2.0 - 2.3

Nubus 2.4 kernels for YDL and Debian.

I'm currently downloading YDL 2.3. Even with DSL, it's going to take 2-3 hours to download because the server is slow. Once it's done I could probably burn some extras if anyone is interested.

Edit: weird. The download said it was about 650MB. but It stopped or acted like it's finished at 173MB... Going to burn on a CD-RW to see if it really is finished or if I need to download again...

Have you also tried MkLinux?

 

[PowerPup]

Actually, no. Not yet anyway.

Um, youll need to redownload it i bet. The server "hung up".

 

[PowerPup]

Yeah, that's exactly what happened. Re-downloading right now.

 

[PowerPup]

It's done downloading now. Found out it would download faster if I used different computer. Let you know my progress when I try it on my 6100.

Did you manage to get it working?

(Yes... old... I know.)

 

[PowerPup]

I don't remember if I tried booting from the disc or not... I did install MkLinux on it though. (Which is also RedHat based.)

While I'm necro'ing things:

Do you know of a download link for 3.0.1? (or 3) I can't seem to find one.

Appears to have died xx(

EDIT- Found the .iso for 3 (Hopefully, they will work.)
