![]() Just don’t get online with it as your system is not secure from all of the malware, trojans and viruses that are now floating out there in the wild. ![]() ![]() If your system is working tinker around with it. Here’s an interesting nugget! The A chips used in the iPhone & iPad’s are RISC based! And iOS is a branch off of the RISC OS-X code stream. The early OS-X OS’s where in fact dual binary! So the RISC code would be loaded on your system and if you had an Intel system the CISC code would load in! It was very novel in its day. Apparently, yaboot is passing incorrect or incomplete boot parameters to the OS and after about 30 seconds, yaboot -> OS X freezes. So Im not sure the standard Mint ISO would work for this. If I want to boot OS X, I hold down the option key to get Apples option page and choose OS X from there. That means its using a different processor architecture (powerPC, instead of x8664 for more modern macs and PCs). if Im not mistaken, the G5 is still in the powerPC series. No PowerPC G5 ever shipped with Leopard, and I absolutely hold Tiger 10.4.11 to be the optimal, snappiest and most stable OS for a G5. Re: Installing Mint 17.3 from LIVECD on a Power MAC G5. While it is true that Leopard 10.5.8 is the latest OS your machine can run, I would personally NOT recommend it. The OS’s are very different! Your system can only support the older Mac OS-X. Id like to update the OS in my Power Mac G5. Hardware Overview: Machine Name: Power Mac G5. Your Power Mac G5 uses a PowerPC 970MP (G5) CPU which is based on the RISC architecture.
