I was wondering if its possible to install KNOPPIX on one of these monstrosities. I have one downstairs in the cellar and I was tempted to try but I have to ask the TECH at work how to boot a MAC from a CD. I have no clue how to get into theBIOS on that thing. It has about 128MB ram. I know it probably will not detect every piece of hardware in there but it would be cool to try to get it to work....any advice? bob

Wrong architecture, mate!

But I'd be surprised if someone hasn't done some kind of Knoppix for Mac. Try a google for
