update:
so i hooked up a 3com network card to the table and connected it to the network so i could ssh into it and compile what was needed. i've just managed to compile all the libs for advancemame, now to compile advancemame itself. fun fun!
earlier today:
so i compiled mkisofs on my g5 this morning and burnt a test cd of advance mame's bootable iso linux cd. little did i realise my graphics card (ati radeon 9200 se) isn't support in the kernel they have. so i can scratch the idea i originally had of transferring the image from the cd to the hd (using ghost or similar). i started to install redhat 9 this morning, and it seems to be happy with the graphics card, so i'll have to go down that path.
i couldn't find any old ps/2 mice lying around so i decided to use one of my old apple pro mice, hehe, funny seeing an apple mouse hooked up to a pc.
it shouldn't be too bad having redhat on there. my other option is to get the source for the advance mame bootable cd and recompile the kernel to support the ati radeon 9200 se, but we shall see.
