Hi, I have a performa 6290cd, and I'm trying to install the most recent version of mklinux on my computer. The online documentation says that my computer should work with mklinux. The instructions tell me to put mklinux booter and mach_server in the extensions, mklinux in the control panels, and lilo.conf and the mklinux.pref in the preferences folder. I restart, and it asks: "Boot macos or mklinux" . When I click mklinux, it says system booting, and freezes. However, when I put the same files in the same folders on a G4, it loads a black screen, and if I have the installer CD in, it installs mklinux, but it doesn't seem to work on the performa. I have 24mb's of RAM (the instructions say i onlye need 8) and 1.1gb's of HD space (the instructions say i need 500mb). I partitioned my disk correctly with pdisk, yet it still doesn't boot. However, if Virtual memory is turned off, it says "not enough memory" when I try to boot mklinux. Does anybody know what I can do to fix this? steven

Unless they specifically say mklinux has been working on an x200 series, I rather doubt it'll work, because the x200s were horribly proprietary and very poorly designed. Get an x500 mobo for it (55 or 6500) and you should have MUCH better luck, although you'll probably have to use a different Linux distro. p
