    Hello ALL.

    Any place when I can find a FAQ or "Howto" or tutorial for new users like me for install all necesary for run MacOnLinux on Peg2?

    What software we need?
    What hardware is recommended?
    From where we can download whatever are needed?

    thanks.!

    Hmmm, double post, but I didn't get any reply at the other thread...and it answers (to some extend) the question of Estrayk:

    I've tried the install guide (http://www.attention-software.com/pxlmolguide.html) but there seems to be a problem....the http://people.debian.org/~luther/pegasos/2.4.22/ directory is dead. I've tried to download and install vmlinuz-2.4.23 but that wouldn't work, and I can't find another suitable 2.4.22 version. Can someone re-upload the original content of the /2.4.22/ directory or point me to a site where I can get it?

    -> I did try to run MOL without the 2.4.22 linuz files, but it reported missing files after the "startmol --cdboot" command and refused to run. Molvconfig worked though :( If someone nows how to get MOL to run on a standard PegXLin install, than I would be just as happy ;)

    If you are using Peg1 with PegxLin then MOL works automatically its in the default install..

    If you are using Peg2 its not going to work properly. You need the new kernel.. you need to go to

    linux.pegasosppc.com and investigate

    find the di-2004.blah file and boot with that as instructed..
