Amiga Linux / Watchtower 2

[giantclam]

Grab your towels hoopy froods, this is one of the best real time technical games I ever played on my A1200 (DKB Cobra 030/882 with Ferret and 32Mb fast) -- the object of the game, is to get the m68k linux OS booting and being somewhat useful, following the clues & hints scattered about these files, in howtos, readmes, and usenet snippet posts.

Seems I managed to archive most of the useful stuff, including some m68k-amiga binaries (including gcc toolchain), and in the words of Eric'O ..."If I can do it, you can do it!"...and you get a warm fuzzy when you finally see it work.

Then you can level-up, and start compiling your own m68k-amiga binaries, and engage in multi sessions of rage-against-the-machine mode, when you realize when it comes to crunching numbers, the clock-speed of the (back then) first pentium i686 cpus, meant you could save half your life & mortality, by setting up a m68k-amiga cross compile toolchain on the x86, and get things compiled orders of 10 quicker compared to even the 060's that got about back in the day.

Guaranteed to represent a challenge ~ become a master ~ impress your friends!!

@TCD -- I've hoisted it to the mega link below, primary because gzipped tar is 'historically' correct... ie; back in the day you had to obtain 'untgz' for AmigaOS, before you could do anything with these files..I don't think I could find Amiga Linux on the ftp? It likely deserves a place there down in /Misc/ or such?
