You want to do an install on the PB165 or have you already & have a particular problem? Have you picked a distro? Your best support bet on those older macs is usually distro-specific. Be sure to check compatability first. I put Debian 2.2 on a Quadra once & found the m68k linux & debian newsgroups esp. helpful. Try "comp.os.linux.m68k" for good general support or post a specific question here & we can try to help. Most folks here are on PPC architecture, though.

No, I haven't started yet. That's usually what NHF's are for, to walk you through, step-by-step. I have been a Linux user for several years now, but I've never tried a different architecture, or a floppy install. I have found crap for documentation, and I don't have a newsgroup account. I Need An NHF Badly! or maybe just a few pointers to get started. ;) Thanks :D :)
