Install Hoary ppc on Wallstreet (oldworld mac)?

[Rainer Gutkas]

I'll have a look if I find Warty for download. I guess to bring the 
harddisk to spin down is just a configuration question of hdparm, which 
shouldn't be a hard job. I fear the installation of miboot more.
I wanna use the internal Harddisk just as boot-Device. So I'm currently 
looking for an at least 3 Disk SCSI system, so I can run a raid system 
for data....

Yours,

Rainer
