So, that’s pretty cool, how do you download it? There seem to be a lot of folders and such and the more I dig down the less I get to a point where I get to a downloadable file or method to do so. If it fits on a CD I’m game. IF it can drive two monitors, one of which is an Apple Studio Display from a Radeon 9600XT, I’ll reach through the internet and kiss you!!!!CRUX link broken

I just realized it’s not for ppc64 G5. I do have a couple of G4’s running linux distros, Maybe I could try it on one of those.Click on the release on the right hand side.
Really?I just realized it’s not for ppc64 G5
Uh oh, looks like a new project Thanks!
I'm at `pacstrap -K /mnt base linux linux-firmware`Trying to get ArchPOWER working - really want RetroPi and Kodi working!

It cannot find linux anywhere. And installing grub will be a different problem. I see now manual anywhere.
Do you have any progress?
PS. What a pity we have no Void Linux anymore. It made be fully happy!
Yes it is! I have to compile things during installation! Its not a time for that, especially if the CPU is 233 Mhz, and there are a lot of chances that installation will have to be repeated, because the platform is -- saying, -- hppa -- and may not be well-tested (or I can be mistaken during install because that is not my native distributive)....And people call Gentoo installation "Difficult"...
This is why I wish I could build some system for crosscompiling purposes.Its not a time for that, especially if the CPU is 233 Mhz, and there are a lot of chances that installation will have to be repeated, because the platform is -- saying, -- hppa -- and may not be well-tested (or I can be mistaken during install because that is not my native distributive).
There is documentation for this in the Gentoo Handbook (wiki.gentoo.org), and I've tried to create this setup myself but to no avail. I may revisit this in the future.This is why I wish I could build some system for crosscompiling purposes.
I don't know about FreeBSD specifically, but I got OpenBSD to install from a USB by first copying its ramdisk and kernel to the hard drive and booting it in OF from there. This might be able to apply to FreeBSD as well, but testing may be required. I am getting around to doing a FreeBSD install myself as well (I want to take a look at the BSD Holy Trinity on PPC beyond just OpenBSD) but that's a bit out.
I have not gotten any BSD to boot natively from USB, but I wouldn't completely rule it out.
The INSTALL.macppc document has a section on this.Do you co-install OpenBSD along with macOS on PowerPC? If yes, could you refer to some up-to-date procedure?
I considered installing it, but I need macOS to be the primary OS. (Having a dedicated drive for BSD is doable though.)
