ty for the links.....i found another way to get this g3 running, and
please for give the multi-posts, but this new installation file seems
much easier....
I have finally had some success with installing debian on my G3 using
Mk-linux booter and other tools that were used in this installation

http://www.qednet.biz/About7100.html

i placed the appropriate files in their respective folders in the
Apple System folder, and when i restart, the dual-boot screen pops
up....BUT when i select linux, an installation begins but always
hangs-up on this line....

Copying boot infos parameters....done
Will enter kernel after relocating ourselves to 0x004f00 (size =
000600)
Restarting at 0x004f10c

i downloaded the stuffit from the link you gave me, but when i tried

8.5 by the way....i have tried BootX, which my old version of Stuffit
will not 'unstuff', and i have tried the MKLinux booter, which hangs
on

I didnt have any problems downloading them to my computer running XP,
which i have been using to download various files for this
installation...i could send you the files directly if you'd like to
try to work with them....i have noticed that if i change the lilo.con
file in the Mac OS preferences folder, i get different errors...

http://nubus-pmac.sourceforge.net/oldkernels.html

this link describes the changes i made to the lilo file. changing the
boot device to dev\ram never got past the dual boot selection screen;
a "system booting" message appears, but then it hangs...ANY IDEAS?

Finally got KDE up and running. I think what I did different was put my
monitor refresh rate at 85mHz. I had been using the default settings
and they apparantly weren't working. Still no printer access, but will
work on that. I had tried Ubuntu/hoary and YDL/sirius with no
resounding success. Both failed to find the install cdrom after booting
from it. Go figure. Thanks to everyone for your indulgence and patience.

You can't use MkLinux unless you have a Nubus Powermac. It is a Mach
kernel with some kind of LInux-userland system call hack. I used it on
a Performa, I liked it, but the Performa died.

Chicken or egg problems are the brain death of working with old Macs.
Have you ever tried to get ethernet working on a System 7 68k so you can
download stuffit etcetera? Argh.
