I'm interested in setting up Linux. Were can I find it and some support
material. I do have internet access, thanks to Chris, so I can access ftp
sites. Thanks…

Alexander,
ps. find below a list of ftp-servers for 680×0-linux
THE Linux/68k server:
ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/680×0/
THE two Linux servers (sources for you to port to/compile on Linux/68k):
ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/sources/
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/
Mirrors (please use the one nearest to you, most of these mirrors are updated
daily):
ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/systems/Linux/680×0/
ftp://ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/pub/comp/os/linux/680×0/
ftp://ftp.twi.tudelft.nl/pub/Linux/680×0/
ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/BETA/680×0/
ftp://ftp.germany.eu.net/pub/os/Linux/Mirror.SunSITE/
ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/computing/operating-systems/Linux/
tsx-11-mirror/680×0/
The kernel source for Linux/68k can be found in 680×0/src/, a lot of binaries
in 680×0/bin/. A few more tools reside in 680×0/tools/.
You need at least the following files
kernel/ amiboot-1.11.gz
kernel/vmlinux-0.9.8.gz (or perhaps a higher version)
filesys/new-filesys.gz
filesys/root.tar.gz
filesys/usr.tar.gz
Very helpful is the CD "Meeting Pearls II" I got here in Germany, because there
is a doc about the installation and some of the above mentioned files.
Good luck
Erich
Dr. Kuester,
Do you know where I can order the CD "Meeting Pearls II" in the U.S.?

Dwayne,
no I am sorry. It is available here in Germany for 17,80 DeutschMarks from
Stefan Ossowski's Schatztruhe
Gesellschaft fuer Software GmbH (which means Software Company Ltd.)
Veronikastr. 33
D-45131 Essen
but … send them an email: stefano@tchest.e.eunet.de

Software Hut carries the Meeting Pearls CDs.
I think the 215 586 5701 number is still good.
