Create a folder for Qemu-related files and unpack the download. Create an empty disk image with qemu-img. Open a command prompt and navigate to your Qemu folder. Open your favorite text editor and create a file called qemu. If one is contained in the download, edit that one. This starts Qemu and boots the MacOS9. You can set the initial size and colour depth of the boot window, using the -g parameter like this: "-g xx32" Without the quotes! You can download them from the Realtek site , or all drivers in one iso from here There are several ways to get networking going in Windows:.
You can provide services running on the guest to the host by forwarding ports to the host. The share appears on your desktop, you can now exchange files through the share.
Toggle navigation. Next, shutdown the Gold Image VM. Share this Facebook Twitter LinkedIn. Share this. Doesn't help? You can burn a CD-R, but that usually means trimming the Linux distro to fit on a disc. Booting from the DVD-R was a breeze after all the frustration I had to deal with creating a bootable flash drive and then actually booting from it. I wiped the 80 GB drive in a 2.
I ended up with a very nice, friendly, functional Linux machine that lets me run the latest version of Firefox on a Power Mac that was left behind with Mac OS X With four cores running at 2. This is lustworthy hardware, although not especially practical in terms of the current it draws. Dual-processor and dual-core Power Mac G5s are competent performers, and the faster dual-processor Power Mac G4 machines are solid workhorses as well with decent amounts of power.
There is a whole learning curve going to a different operating system and using primarily free open source software that may have the power of commercial apps — but you need to figure out how to access it. But if you want to set up a machine with an up-to-date operating system and browser that can be used more like a Chromebook than a Mac, Linux could be for you.
Firefox is a staple in the Linux world, and the latest version is fast with a reduced memory footprint. I can run it on my Power Mac G5 Dual nicely. Not as nicely as a 3 GHz Core i3 iMac, but nicely nonetheless. Honestly, I would go the triple-boot route. Today I put separate Tiger and Leopard partitions on any G4 or G5 Mac I set up, usually with Leopard getting times as much space as Tiger, depending on the size of the hard drive.
To learn to live in the Linux world, I would go with two hard drives when possible — one just for Linux, which likes to partition its hard drive just so — and one with partitions for Tiger and Leopard.
Even on my dual-core 2. You can really speed it up by going to m. That puts you in the mobile version, which has its own drawbacks but runs a lot faster than the desktop version. Linux on PowerPC Macs was invaluable in helping me get this far. PowerPC is not being entirely supported by the popular Operating Systems in the market. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of installing and using a PowerPC with Linux, today?
Many people still use their G5s with 2. Going for one distribution or the other depends on your resources and requirements. How powerful is your machine, is it G3, G4, G5? And what are you trying to accomplish? It introduced PPC bit in its release cycle. But unfortunately, Debian removed it from the release cycles and only left the PowerPC port community support.
Debian started support for PowerPC bit in Debian 2. This is why people usually install Debian 6. Such releases are suitable for powerful PowerPC machines. You can also install Debian on bit PowerPC machines. Debian Linux versions 6 or 7 is our top recommendation for a system that will support PowerPC. The unstable Debian distribution, known as Debian sid is one of the preferred distributions to use with PowerPCs. With Debian sid, the installation packages will propagate for testing and then be sent to a release.
Bear in mind that unstable distributions do not get security updates, their installers may be unpredictable, and they could fail at any time. But for more powerful machines including 5G bit machines , the ppc64 ISO works great. In February , Ubuntu announced the re-classification of the support for PowerPC to unofficial, starting from Ubuntu 7.
Since that date, PowerPC is supported by the community and only available as a port and not found via the Ubuntu mirrors. Packages: PowerPC packages can be obtained on Ubuntu's launchpad.
