I was wondering if I could put Plan 9 on an old powerbook 68k ? thanks raphael _____________________________________________________________ -- hate microsoft? tired of hotmail? your free mail http://8-0.net -- marre de Caramail et Hotmail ? votre email gratuit http://8-0.net ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Having said this no one (to my knowledge) has done a native port to 68k or PPC macs and the old 68k kernels would require a fair amount or work to be compatible with release 4 even before before you started the port to the Mac hardware. Sorry to be discouraging but running Plan9 on a 68k Mac would be a lot of work. (unless somone knows differently...) -Steve ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
