I stood in line for my switch for several hours one midnight in the late 20-teens, finally getting mine from BestBuy at something like 3am. I used it a fair amount for the first year or two, and then it mostly collected dust. Until now!

| Linux From Scratch is a fun way to learn about Linux, but it expects you to already have Linux running. [http://trac.cross-lfs.org Cross-compiling] is already supported but OS X is a little weird--so here are some hints for bootstrapping LFS from OS X. I've only tried this on 32-bit PPC, I have no idea how well or badly it would work on G5 or Intel chips. | |
| Generally, you can follow the [http://cross-lfs.org/view/1.0.0rc4/ppc/ Cross-LFS book], I only refer to areas where changes are needed. | |
| == Chapter 2 == | |
| === Partitioning === | |
| To perform the partitioning, you'll probably want to use a Linux rescue CD. Gentoo's PPC CD has a version of parted that can even resize existing HFS+ partitions non-destructively, I think Debian's does too. Using Disk Utility or a commercial tool like iPartition is an option, but I'm not certain they can create the special partition types Apple_Bootstrap and Apple_UNIX_SVR2. |

Running Comply 1.2.6 on Lubuntu 18.04 (minimal install)
To get Comply running on Lubuntu 18.04 minimal install, I had to:
Download comply-v1.2.6-linux-amd64.tgz from the Comply releases page, and ensure it's my executable path:
curl -LO https://github.com/strongdm/comply/releases/download/v1.2.6/comply-v1.2.6-linux-amd64.tgz
tar -xzvf comply-v1.2.6-linux-amd64.tgz
sudo ln -s $PWD/comply-v1.2.6-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/comply
Download the latest pandoc 2.x binary from here because the latest Ubuntu package is 1.19.x
