Re: [TCLUG:6359] un*x on macs.

["Daniel M. Debertin" <katdan@mninter.net>]

Only Debian has a working installer for 68k macs. Somebody's working on a
RH installer, which unfortunately has some bugs that prevent me from using
it :(. For a slower machine like that, the Debian install method, with a
huge amount of files, and a downright painful installation program, made
it just not worth the effort. There's nothing wrong with Debian, but it
shouldn't take a day and a half (seriously) to install all of the
necessary files. I still don't really "get" BSD; that's what I'm working
on at the moment.
