I'm so doing this with Ubuntu, and maybe Fedora on another. All I have to say is...Bring a whole OS around, to boot whenever you want? Yeah, forget it. I'm already drooling.

I've seen this before, but I've also heard bad things about the site they show you...
Puppy linux is an cool one to use, as long as you know what youre doing.
also, just for fun, mac-on-a-stick.
I've got a similar setup on my mp3 player
I devoted 8Gb of my 30Gb storage to a portable linux install
Oh cool, I'm trying mac on a stick.
PROBLEM! I can't unpack the .bin files. If you could extrat these for me, that would be cool. Go to here:
http://www.info.apple.com/support/ol...twarelist.html
And search (Ctrl+F) these:
Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_6.0.x/SSW_6.0.8-1.4MB_Disk1of2.sea.bin
Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_6.0.x/SSW_6.0.8-1.4MB_Disk2of2.sea.bin
Thanks! I'm on a windows (eww) and I can't get stuffit.
aren't those just floppy disk images?
I dunno. This is telling me to unpack those, and I can't. I must obey teh interwebz.
they extract to 1.4Mb floppy disk images

but you're going to have to write these to a floppy disk
these are raw disk images, so simply copying them won't work
(akin to .iso CD images)
under linux, just do
but god knows how you do this under windowsCode:dd if=./System\ Startup of=/dev/fd0
Oh duh, I need the floppy disc images, so Mini vMac can run them. I think...
oh ok
well, there you go then
btw, Mac System 6 is positively ancient
released in 1988

I am an idiot. I got it to work, thanks. I just have to figure out how to install software.
System 6 had a browser? :shock: I don't remember that. System 6 came out before the internet I thought :?
Heh, I like Damn Small Linux for this. It's tiny, something like 50mb, and uses the Blackbox (or is it Fluxbox...) window manager. It's awesome.
Yep, DSL rocks
Awesome. I should do this at school xD
that guy looks like Cary Elwes.
Questions from someone who is interested in trying Linux but is still nervous to try dual-booting it with her older machine (gift = no OS discs in case something screws up):
Does this mean that I don't have to load Linux on my machine, but would simply load it from my desktop after running the .bat file and QEMU Accelerator file?
Would any sort of security be compromised?
What else would I need to know to get this running?
I started looking through the first 10 lessons of the Linux tutorial that they have to get myself at least slightly familiar with it. I haven't looked into Ubuntu specifically. On the whole, I'd rather screw up a $10 flash drive (which it doesn't sound like I would) than my windows machine and be unable to reload the OS. Thanks for your help (if you have time)!
It does mean that you have to load Linux on your machine, but it's running as a program, so if crashes, it should act like a not-responding application, unless you do something really stupid, like messing up the Windows folder :P As long as you keep it inside what you do normally, there shouldn't be any problems.
Your security won't be compromised.
I don't think you need to know anything else to get it running ;)
Oh, btw. You can download full OS's from the interwebz. It's illegal, but in your case it's justifiable.:P
I consider myself tech savvy, but by no means am I an expert. I know enough to not screw things up, but also enough to really screw things over if I mess up :D (When I worked here in the IT department pre-Dec. 07, I took the voicemail system down three times. Mom wasn't too happy.)
Thanks for letting me know. It will be nice to be able to do a trial-run and get used it a bit first.
Can I suggest using Virtualbox, instead of Qemu
Qemu is great if you need to emulate different CPU architectures (x86 -> PowerPC)
I have never used linux and I question how it is in any way superior to Windows XP when using a computer for personal use...especially to the pirated copy I'm running.
so, what you're saying, is you have no basis for any sort of opinion whatsoever....Quote:

If you're interested, I'd recommend Ubuntu
there's been a few threads on this forum from people who've switched to Ubuntu

Linux is way safer than XP (or any other windows OS system for that matter) because of a few differences in setup.
It's true, linux isn't as easy to use as XP, but that's more because you're just used to XP :P
You could always put on GnomeXp, which makes Ubuntu (linux) look like XP :)
Just click the .bat file, and you're good to go. No saving to the machine.Quote:

Nothing really. It works pretty good, slow though. However, I did it on a microSD card so that might be the slowness.
Qemu emulates everything (including the CPU) - hence the "slowness"
Virtualbox uses the hosts CPU
if you don't need to emulate a different architecture, don't use Qemu
SO, could you run Virtualbox off a USB?
In theory, you can run anything off an USB. :P
