%SECTION0{name=Introduction}% Introduction

This document is an attempt to tell you what you need to know
to use Linux on an embedded PowerPC-based system, and is a
distillation of the collective wisdom from the
%REF{type=Section,topic=Resources,name=MailingList,text=linuxppc-embeddedmailinglist}%.

This document is a Wiki adaption of the original Linux for
PowerPC Embedded Systems HOWTO last maintained by Boas Betzler.

Some of the information here is in the form of references
to the mailing list archives. Follow the threads in the archive
to get more information.
                                                                                
This document is laid out roughly in the order of the steps
necessary to implement a complete system, which is similar
to boot order starting at the lowest level and working upwards.

Based on the HOWTO by Boas Betzler which was itself based on the original
HOWTO by Graham Stoney, the Wiki community is now maintaining this document.
It is assembled utilising the wisdom dispensed by many others, particularly
the gurus in the field: Dan Malek, Cort Dougan, Marcus Sundberg, Wolfgang Denk,
Richard Hendricks, Matt Porter, Grant Erickson, Darvis Nevil, Murray Jensen,
Matthew Locke and others. 
They deserve the credit - I doubt you'll find a more helpful group of people.
