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 :-)

NAME

       extlinux - install the SYSLINUX bootloader on a ext2/ext3 filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       extlinux [options] directory

DESCRIPTION

       EXTLINUX is a new syslinux derivative, which boots from a Linux ext2/ext3 filesystem.  It works the same way as SYSLINUX, with a few slight
       modifications.  It is intended to simplify first-time installation of Linux, and for creation of  rescue  and  other  special-purpose  boot
       disks.

       The  installer is designed to be run on a mounted directory.  For example, if you have an ext2 or ext3 usb key mounted on /mnt, you can run
       the following command:

	      extlinux --install /mnt

OPTIONS

       -H, --heads=#
	      Force the number of heads.

       -i, --install
	      Install over the current bootsector.

       -O, --clear-once
	      Clear the boot-once command.

       -o, --once=command
	      Execute a command once upon boot.

       -M, --menu-save=label
	      Set the label to select as default on the next boot

       -r, --raid
	      Fall back to the next device on boot failure.

       --reset-adv
	      Reset auxiliary data.

       -S, --sectors=#
	      Force the number of sectors per track.

       -U, --update
	      Updates a previous EXTLINUX installation.

       -z, --zip
	      Force zipdrive geometry (-H 64 -S 32).

FILES

       The extlinux configuration file needs to be named extlinux.conf and needs to be stored in the extlinux  installation  directory.  For  more
       information about the contents of extlinux.conf, see syslinux(1) manpage, section files.

BUGS

       I  would  appreciate hearing of any problems you have with SYSLINUX.  I would also like to hear from you if you have successfully used SYS-
       LINUX, especially if you are using it for a distribution.

       If you are reporting problems, please include all possible information about your system and your BIOS; the vast majority of  all  problems
       reported turn out to be BIOS or hardware bugs, and I need as much information as possible in order to diagnose the problems.

       There  is  a  mailing  list  for discussion among SYSLINUX users and for announcements of new and test versions. To join, send a message to
       majordomo@linux.kernel.org with the line:
