Some of us are old enough to remember a Linux distro called Yggdrasil. It was my first but certainly not my last. Does this thing involve a MAC address?

- beanjuiceII 1y agosome of us even still have Yggdrasil installation media
- smackeyacky 1y agoI have a book and cd. I tried using the cd image with Qemu but I couldn’t work out how to get the CD interface going. It requires some ancient device emulation (I want to say the creative soundblaster CD interface) but I’m not sure the limited ones it knows about are in qemu.
- genewitch 1y agoTry PCem It has ancient stuff. I got os/2 warp and win98 running fine (with voodoo graphics!) Having more trouble coming up with a plan to get bsd or Linux on it. So far I got Debian 9 installed and I'm going to install Gentoo from within on a new vhd. I know 98 and warp aren't technically ancient, but I had gotten the Xerox star 8010 emulator running well yesterday and went to work on pcem.
- makeworld 1y agoAFAIK no MAC addresses are involved. It assigns you a new IP address, internal to the network, a bit like a VPN.
- evbogue 1y agoyah it's good for logging into computers or accessing servers behind NAT. It's kinda an antidote to this world that's still hooked on ipv4 like it's 1992 or whatever.
