I might need to change my retro challenge...

As you may or may not know, mine was to install Linux on my Classic II. Well, it's on there and booting reliably :D

I just need to tack on some more stuff to the challenge. Next step is to figure out how the heck to get software packages onto there to make it a little more useful. That should be fun on a computer with no network connection, no optical drive, and a floppy drive that Linux refuses to recognize :p

I'd like to add that to my official challenge. Up the ante and make mine "Install Linux on a Macintosh Classic II, and then make it useful".

BTW, As far as I know, I'm the only person in the world to ever get Linux running on a B&W compact besides the SE/30! This is really exciting! :beige: EDIT: I might be wrong

P.S., if you wouldn't mind adding in there that I'm gonna be installing Linux on my Power Macintosh 6500/225 to help and assist in this project. Should be fun, eh?
