Hi all,

Just like to announce that over a 5 month period i have been very busy, personally and programmelly .

Well, just like to announce that im testing my new LIVECD PegxMAC - yep <<<

It consists of MOL 0.70 ,linux booting from a CD so no need to install linux if you just want to run MACOS or OSX.

only a 200mb size, hopefully decrease so we can boot from USB pens (need to look into further).

PegXLin is still being developed, just need more time.

anyway, im going to have a long needed sleep shhhh..

PegXLin DEV

great news

thanks djbmister

all, stay tune

Very very nice news.

I'm waiting it

That's very good news.

wHEn a Peg2 compatible PegLinx will be avaiable?
ANd this PegxMAc?

Can we use X11 stuff as well: KDE/Gnome,... (just like any "live" distrib on the PC) ? or does it only run MOL ?

Leo.

Really nice!
I want it
Good work dude!

Congratulations David!

Thank you for putting that Pegasos to good use!!!

BTW, we are happy that you are sharing this with A1 users, just promise us you will not change the name!

Hip-hip-hooray for David!!!

R&B

I cant wait for this! I want th ePegXlin to work on a peg II as well, but if this does the Macon Linux thats all I want linux for in the first place. Let us know when its ready!!

I cant wait too.!!!

great news !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gimme gimme -

Add me to that list too.. I want to check out MOL but I'm not too keen in installing linux

Would we be able to run mac games on it? Such as Halo??

Quote:

I think that for very elegant stuff that requires presence of special hardware (3d accelerator) the Vitual Machine software (MaconLinux in this case) should be able to translate the 3d Api commands of the Mac software to OpenGL of Linux.
This should have an impact on the execution speed. Does MacOnLinux support sound?

--EDIT-- When I'm saying virual machine I mean something in the sense of VMware. Nothing to do with Java VM or AmigaDE

HEy djbmister!
dont forgot test it with VooDoo3!!
Seems all people have a Radeon but still left people with 3dfx cards like me !

thx!

Estrayk:-

Don't worry - you're not the only one utilising the power
of 3DFX's Voodoo 3 :)

To the PegxMAC chap: -

Excellent project - I really look forward to giving MOL
a try without having to mess around with a full blown Linux
installation of my own !

Regards,

JohnB

Hi Estrayk,

Dont worry dude, PegxMAC is being tested on a Voodoo3, so i can guarantee compatibilty

i dont have a radeon card

Small request,

could someone who uses a pegasos II with linux, could you type lspci and give me the output details, as i need it for my pegxMAC project

email it at david260179@tiscali.co.uk

thankyou

I would be more than happy to. I can at least boot into linux on my Peg II. No X Windows yet, though. I will have the output posted later today (someone will probably beat me to it).

Since you *are* including Voodoo support, let me make the official request for ATI support, then! I'm sure you are already on it, though.

Thanks man, that´s wath i need, i don´t like linux that mutch because i need to deal with all recompile this or that in Li"s"u"kc"x , that´s why i get a peg2 with MOS, but i want to try MOL, and as we don´t have iFusion or MOM (Mac on MorphOS ), i still need to deal with all recompilations for every single thing in linux.

So, when this image will be available for us ?

Ps: Linux lovers, please don´t be angry with me

djbmister, you requested, here U´ve !

I cant wait for this to come out myself! I have had a hard time with linux. The Debian installer that out refuses to complete on my Pegasos II. I get so close, and it fails all the time.

What would it take to recompile MOL to run native on MorphOS? That would be nice indeed!

A bit out of the topic ...

What about Morph-On-Linux or something like that? MOL can load mac os x, mac os 9 and linux. What about adding Morphos? I mostly use Linux (I can not type japanese properly under morphos), and it's quite annoying having to reboot all the time to load MorphOS. I'd like to run it from Linux :)
