         Rawhide world on MklinuxG7
        ---------------------------

 Let's go "Rawhide world" using the vmlinux+installer like DR3,
    together Nubus users too.

   This vmlinux+installer is useful linuxppc/R5 in linuxppc box,too.

  ** How to install as MkLinux** 

 1. 
    /*RPM files*/

     Download many RedHat/RPMS files from 
             ftp://ftp.linux.org/pub/linuxppc-dev-rel/1.0/RedHat/RPMS.
     Not use the files for linuxppc kernel.
     (kernel-pmac,kernel-prep,kernel-source,kernel-chrp,pmac-utils,and others)

     Put RPMS files in ext2,becase you can use genhdlist on R4 or mklinux.

    /*hdlist*/

     Download RedHat/base/hdlist from /linuxppc-dev-rel/1.0/RedHat/base/hdlist.
       Put it in RedHat/base/*. But it's too big size.
     You can generate hdlist using genhdlist yourself,
	Plaese read RedHat/base/Readme.hdlist

    /*comps*/

     Remove some filenames in comps for linuxppc kernel,
      or use Installer-for-MkLinuxG7R5/RedHat/base/comps,it's already rewrite.
	Please read Redhat/base/Readme.comps.

    /*need files*/
     You must put 4 files into Redhat/base/* .
     They are comps,hdlist,install3.tr, and stage2.img.

     More 1 file ,you put ppc as mark file under RedHat/* also. 

 2. Download these files for installing Mklinux .

         clock-mklinux
         default_pager
         mklinux-release
         mklinux_server
         rc.local-linuxppc

	These two files I use allways. 

         FileRunner
         hfsutils 

     Add five files from Installer-for-MkLinux-G7R5/RedHat/RPMS/* to Redhat/RPMS.
     Add these filenames in your comps,or use My comps.

 3. Uncompress Mac_Files.sit, put in MacOS.
 4. Put mach_servers in MacOs.
 5. Selecet boothd by mklinux-cotrol-panel
 6. Go restart Mac. 

 [Problems]

   1.    If you have the stop when booting 
              at "VFS:Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly",
         You need the command of "ln -sf /dev/tty0  /dev/console",
         Or use instead/SysVinit-2.76-2.ppc.rpm.
         the cause is SysVinit-2.74-11.ppc.rpm.
   2.    
       "mount: fs type devpts not supported by kernel"
       "Mounting other filesystems failed"

        If you find these error when booting twice.
         the first error is in fstab,the second one is in rc.sysinit.

        /*fstab*/
            none       /dev/pts   devpts  mode=0622       0 0

        *** Delete this line in fstab.***

        /*rc.sysnit*/
        action "Mounting local filesystems" mount -a -t nonfs,smbfs,ncpfs,proc

        *** Delete "nonfs" in the line like that.***
         
        action "Mounting local filesystems" mount -a -t smbfs,ncpfs,proc
      

   The comps has many bugs.Take care.

 Mac_Files.sit have "Mach kernel" from globegate.utm.edu/MkLinux generic7.
 The other files are same.
 

>Installing the Mac OS-side files
>================================

>There are five files in the "Mac Files" folder.  Copy the two files "MkLinux
>Booter" and "Mach Kernel" to your Extensions folder.  Copy the control panel
>"MkLinux" to your Control Panels folder.  Copy the two files "lilo.conf" and
>"MkLinux.prefs" to your Preferences folder.

>The initial boot of MkLinux just runs the installer.  Currently, things are


 Vmlinux+installer is rebuilt using "Mklinux generic7" and 
   "Linuxppc-dev-rel R5's installer",
     I used initrd-network.img.gz.

     I could not use initrd-network.img.gz without fix for Mklinux.

	*initrd-network.img.gz
	     I made /dev/* and deleted modules.conf under /etc, 
                deleted all files under /modules.
		They are linuxppc kernel's.
             I added mach_servers/mach_init in it.
	     Then I wrapped it with Mklinux-kernel.

Enjoy Rawhide on MklinuxG7R5!
