I am looking for a copy of SuSE v7.3/ppc. If anyone would happen to
know where I can get a copy of it, I would be very grateful. Thanx

You can find some old SuSE stuff here:

ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/discontinued/
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.de/

I found there only SuSE v7.0/ppc SuSE v7.3/i386 :-(

Ciao Marco!

Yeah, there's v5.3, which I already copied, for x86. The v7.0
directory for ppc doesn't have much in it. Don;t know if I could do
an install from that one. Thanx tho.

I once found a source, and documented it here:

(I am sure I also have 7.3 media somewhere -- I worked on 7.3 together
with Olaf ;-)

I actually have the x86 media. I just didn't have any ppc machines at
the time, and didn't buy the media for it. Since I just installed 7.3
on an old Thinkpad, I was just wondering how well it would run on my
old Wallstreet. Thanx again.

On my iBook (G3), SLES9 plus a privately(?) provided Olaf kernel worked
best. Nearly no crashes and you could close the lid to make it suspend
to RAM. Power management seems to start working again with 11.0, but
the machine stays always or often very hot.

I do not know whether SLES9 is publically available...
