OS X Live-CD with Utilities

[juanstdio]

Hello!

I'm looking for something that I didn't saw in previous threads.

Is there any OS X Live with network/hardware/disks/benchmarks utilities to diagnose a PowerPC Mac?

For reference, in Windows you have something like "Hiren's Boot CD" that has a Live windows installation plus some utils to fix Hard drivers and diagnose computers.

I'm searching for something similar but for PPC

Thank you!

You want Apple Hardware Test, which can be downloaded from internet archives. A quick search turned up these, but there are others:

Related is the "Finnix" PowerPC Linux live CD, which can be used similarly to Knoppix for backing up / restoring hard drive images.

I've modified Finnix to include socat, lzop and pv to facilitate doing these backups to / from a network host: https://leopard.sh/linux/
