Downloads
To make a functioning system, you need a kernel, the Penguin booter,
and a few files from the Debian
distribution. This project isn't (directly) responsible for the files from
Debian for Mac, so you should see their site for more information. If
you don't know where to get started installing, take a look at the documenation section for more info.
More downloads and information can be found on the SourceForge project page.
Kernels
Instructions for getting the kernel source
can be found in the FAQ. A few pre-compiled
images can be found at the SourceForge
file release page.
Bootloader
There are two bootloaders available, EMILE and Penguin.
EMILE
EMILE has several advantages
over Penguin. Download EMILE from the EMILE File
Release page. See the EMILE HOWTO for usage
instructions.
Penguin Booter
See the Penguin HOWTO for information on how
to use Penguin to boot Linux. You can download the latest version of Penguin at
the File
Release page. Older versions are available here. You
may want to try version 17 or 18 if version 19 gives you trouble, although
version 19 has fixed compatibility with many machines.
Ramdisk Images
There some old initrd images
here that
are mostly useful for determining whether or not Linux will run on your hardware.
See the FAQ for more information.
Utilities
The FAQ has a list of MacOS utilities
that will help you set up your machine for Linux.
