[clue-tech] openhackware

[David L. Willson]

Anyone know anything about openhackware?  My friend Lori is coming to Installfest and hoping to get some help with it.  She needs to make like an Alpha.

Hi David,

This is the issue I'm having with trying to install openhackware. Maybe you can forward and I can get some advise on Saturday.

Thanks,
Lori

OK, you're no long in "easy questions" land.  You need to join the CoLoCo and CLUE mailing lists.  Sometimes, someone on one of those lists is interested in a thing.  Just at a guess, though, does this map?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=550221

I'm trying to install openhackware in order to load powerpc, so I can load AIX, but I get this error message:
