   INTRODUCTION

 

 


This user guide will help you to install, configure and run MOL. The information in this guide is valid for mol-0.9.60. If you are using an earlier version, be aware that some things might have changed. If you do not wish to upgrade to the latest version of MOL (which is hightly recommended), you should probably consult the documentation bundled with your particular version. This documentation is usually located in one of the following two directiories:

/usr/share/doc/mol-0.9.xx
/usr/doc/mol-0.9.xx

Before continuing, you should also be aware of some requrements for running MOL:

A supported PowerPC" CPU (604[e], G3 or G4)
Linux/ppc
A 2.2 or 2.4 kernel
MacOS 8.6* or later
(9.2.1 is known to work)

* MOL can run MacOS 7.5.2 and later in "oldworld" mode. However, this requires an image of a supported boot ROM.

MOL can run on non-Apple hardware. APUS hardware (Amiga PowerUp System) is currently unsupported, but work is in progress.
