Hello mac people,

I have gotten a very old mac (macintosh II) and I would love to run my
favorite os on it. the installation seems to be much more complicated
that on my other hp300 machine. 

my major problem is that this mac has no MacOS on its harddrive. it
boots mach3.0 - at least it starts to boot it but doesn't finish.

the install.{txt,ps,html} file and the FAQ emphasis that one needs
MacOS for the installation! really? no other way? As far as I
understand one can boot netbsd after a successful installation from
floppy, so do there exist some mac bootfloppys - similar the ones for
intel-dos - with which i can do the installation? any other suggestions?

if the answer is "sorry, you are lost" then could somebody let me know
the situation for linux?
