Running Linux on the Intel Mac

As an experiment I tried to boot a Linux live CD on my Intel transition kit Mac. It works! I had to use the frame buffer mode to get X11 working & it won’t recognize the built-in Ethernet, but this isn’t the latest version of Knoppix.

I also discovered that pressing F1 while booting will bring up a BIOS setup screen.
