Sarge / OldWorld / Boot X

I was wondering -- the Installation Manual for using OldWorld Macs and
hard drive booting says to use the Woody installation files, and those
seem to work alright, but the directory structure on the FTP has
naturally changed between Woody and Sarge, and so the files that one
would use for this process (a linux.bin among others) don't seem to
exist anymore.

So I guess I was wondering if I was looking in the wrong place, or if
there was a similar process that could be done using Boot X, but using
sarge and a 2.6 kernel?

Thanks!

If you copy the installer /vmlinuz and /initrd kernel images to the mac
system folder (I forget exactly the process but it should be in the
archives - I don't have a live old-world machine anymore). BootX will
then boot the install CD. The main thing to remember is to copy the
installed /vmlinuz and /initrd images to the mac side BEFORE you reboot
during the install; otherwise you won't get back to the install. There
should also be information on this in the archives.

Put: site:lists.debian.org old world mac bootx .... into a google
search
