There is now a PegXLin entry at the IBM Global Solutions Directory. PegXLin is a one CD installed image of Debian/Sarge for the PegasosPPC. It uses part of the Debian/Sarge installer, but then uses an installer script that copies the PegXLin pre-installed image to the disk.

Why should anyone have to read a manual to use or install an operating system????? This is the kind of tunnel-vision (or is it elitism?) that makes Unix and its clones so difficult to install.

It took me 6 weeks to install Suse - even though my PC was 2 years old and by the most popular brand on the high street, it still didn't work out of the box with my mouse, graphics card, modem, or monitor. I had to edit various config files hidden away deep in obscure directories. The man pages are generally absymal for finding something out anyway. In the end, it still didn't work so I bought Mandrake - whose installer was incompatible with my CPU (their excuse), however with a fix it did seem to work, although it took further editing of the XF86Config file before X would display properly.

When are they going to make an installer that works?
