They have actually had it working since for about a year or so (that I can remember, might have been 2 years ago that I started following it. being in school all the time over the last 4 years has kinda run together :-)... They have slowly but surely getting it to more and more platforms, but the powerPC I think is on the very,very back burner, if on one at all... They are currently working on the '40 support, it works on various '30s (IIx IIcx etc) and '20 w/PMMU (II)... There is a text in the .../doc that tells all the platforms and how well it is working with them so check this out and it'll tell you all you really need to know... 5. How can I get it?

A new installation manual is in the works. ------------ the docs for getting it going are not all that great, so be prepared to know quite abit about UNIX or hope you do alot of really good guessing... hope this helps...
