Thank you for doing this.  I managed to botch my Linux PPC install 
last year by screwing up the compiler in an attempt to enable me to 
use gdb correctly.  Could you spell out what you did to get the 
compiler in line?  I know that part of my problem was that Linux PPC 
1999 comes with egcs instead of gcc.  But, a printout of the commands 
you used to bring LinuxPPC 1999 into a state where I can use the 
snapshot would be great.

As one of the many mac users here, I appreciate your work!  Last 
night I was resorting to Virtual PC again to scratch out some code 
ideas -- ouch.
