MkLinux on a Performa 6320?

Has anyone ever done this before? It says its supported, but whenever I try to boot off the installation CD, it freezes. To be more specific, it starts to boot Mac OS, then it gets to the "choose your OS" window where you can choose to fully boot Mac or dissolve Mac OS and enter into Linux. When you choose Linux, it pretty much totally freezes. I can't figure it out and there isn't a whole lot of info about this stuff on the web. If anyone has any experience let me know. Thanks :-)

I wouldn't say I'm a unix dummy, or a unix expert, but I have few other options. So I installed MkLinux on an old powermac 6100 I had around. I got it up and running too, its on my network, its apache web server works (though I need to install PHP) I downloaded the RC5-72 client and it runs great....

scselect

SCSELECT(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					       SCSELECT(8)

NAME

     scselect -- Select system configuration "location"

SYNOPSIS

     scselect [-n] [new-location-name]

DESCRIPTION

     scselect provides access to the system configuration sets, commonly referred to as "locations".  When invoked with no arguments, scselect
     displays the names and associated identifiers for each defined "location" and indicates which is currently active.  scselect also allows the
     user to select or change the active "location" by specifying its name or identifier.  Changing the "location" causes an immediate system re-
     configuration, unless the -n option is supplied.

     At present, the majority of preferences associated with a "location" relate to the system's network configuration.

     The command line options are as follows:

     -n  Delay changing the system's "location" until the next system boot (or the next time that the system configuration preferences are
	 changed).

     new-location-name
	 If not specified, a list of the available "location" names and associated identifiers will be reported on standard output.  If specified,
	 this argument is matched with the "location" names and identifiers and the matching set is activated.

HISTORY

     The scselect command appeared in Mac OS X Public Beta.
