tlug: Putting Linux on a new G3 PowerBook

[Jonathan Byrne <jq@example.com>]

A colleague of mine just got a new G3 PowerBook (dang, those things are
big!) and wants to put Linux on it.  I've never installed Linux on a Mac
and don't know much about it at all.  Anybody out there want to help?

She was thinking of just FTPing it and installing, but the stuff I read
on the linuxppc web site sounds like this is a lot more involved than it
would be on an x86 machine.   She doesn't have a CD right now.

It also said that HFS+ is not supported.  Would a brand new G3 PowerBook
have HFS+ or HFS?  

She may be able to bring it to the meeting on Saturday.  If you have a
Mac Linux CD and can help, by all means bring it  :-)

Thanks!
