Most Linux distros come in a CD ISO image, so you will need a CD drive in your Amiga to install Linux.

We had the same problems with macintosh emulators and their lack of an MMU. Quite a lot of people have wanted to run Apple's A/UX which requires an MMU, and unfortunately, none of the macintosh emulators emulate one (including the ones that use the UAE 68k code). Most (all?) developers of the emulators have expressed hardly any interest in adding one.

Harrison did you install any of those Linux listed above? Anyone?

No. I've not had time to try any of them on either my A4000 or A1200. The main problem is that I would need to use the HDD, and I have them setup just how I like at the moment. Which was why I really wanted to try them via emulation. Maybe one day.

I have for the installation:
- blizzard 1230 mkiv with 32mb ram .... (needs 64mb?)
- cd-rom
- spare HD to test it
Since cd-rom it's not bootable in my miggy, it needs wb3.1 or os3.9 to boot (2 different hds) how do we install linux?
i have a 3rd clean Hd to install it, must i need to put wb first and then Linux? Or can i boot only for wb and then run linux? Does it made a multiboot or he install linux on top of wb?

You could setup a Workbench floppy with the CD drivers needed to access the drive.
