A working Linux PC with the typical development tools installed. You will also need a C++ compiler (g++ recommended) to build doltool.
A compatible ppc toolchain, for cross-compiling. For example, ppc-linux-uclibc-toolchain-20040609.tar.bz2 (23 M.
Doltool for Linux sources, doltool.0.3.2.linux-TenOfTen.tgz (20 K.
Linux kernel sources, from www.kernel.org.
GameCube Linux kernel patches, from the SourceForge project files page.
(Optional) A ramdisk image, when building a ramdisk based kernel. Grab this sample image (250 K if you are building a kernel for the first time.
Installing the toolchain and doltool
1. Uncompress the toolchain to a directory where you have write access.
$ cd /home/isobel
$ tar xjvf /temp/ppc-linux-uclibc-toolchain-20040609.tar.bz2
2. Uncompress doltool sources there too.
$ tar xzvf /temp/doltool.0.3.2.linux-TenOfTen.tgz
3. Build doltool, and copy the resulting binary to the toolchain bin directory.
$ cd doltool.0.3.2.linux-TenOfTen
$ g++ -o doltool cpp
$ cp doltool ../ppc-linux-uclibc-toolchain-20040609/bin/
$ cd ..
Preparing to use the toolchain
1. Add the bin directory of your ppc toolchain tree to your PATH environment variable.
NOTE: This will temporarily add the toolchain directory to your path. If you plan to frequently use the toolchain you may want to modify your login script accordingly.
Installing and patching the Linux kernel sources
1. Put the kernel tarball, and the GameCube Linux kernel patches, in a directory where you have permissions.
$ ls
linux-2.6.8.1.tar.bz2 linux-2.6.8-gc.patch.gz
CAUTION: Do NOT use the /usr/src directory !!!
2. Unpack the kernel sources.
$ tar xjvf linux-2.6.8.1.tar.bz2
3. If you plan to build a ramdisk based kernel, copy your ramdisk image into the kernel source tree....
well where do i start, a kickass linux splash screen tht will impress anyone when u turn on your gamecube. Second of all, it allows you to search through your files, such as the Gamecube boot, and other things you are interested in, plus this will allow you to modify gamecube gamesaves say, u have a supersmash bro’s save, u could edit the 1% done gamesave to have all the characters unlocked, think of the things you could do? infinite gold coins in mario, you can do tht. Plus u can run roms on the gamecube with gamecube emulators, say, u want to play Super Mario 64, if you can find it, you could run it on your gamecube. There is a lot more things, so many I havent discoverd them all yet

well, you can always set up a dual boot on your computer, and split a portion of your drive say around 30mb’s of space for Linux to be ran on your computer
look up cent os on google, and download its a type of linux, and if your having trouble setting up this os, than look up on google how to set cent os up, and than look up how to set up a dual boot tutorial, I might write how to set up a dual boot, sometime, but not today
