Editing Bootstrapping a Wii-Linux Distro (section)

== 1. Porting the distro to 32-bit Big-Endian PowerPC 750, if required ==
This is obviously the hardest step.  If the distro does not already natively support 32-bit PPC (e.g. [[Debian-Ports PPC|Debian]]), or have a community-maintained port (e.g. [[ArchPOWER]]), or perhaps doesn't support PPC750, then you will need to create the port yourself.
The difficulty of this step could range from Impossible (distro is set up in such a way to make this task 100% impossible), to very easy (most of the groundwork is already there, just needs to be compiled), to already done (such a port already exists).

Due to the incredible variety of difficulties that could be encountered in this step, accomplishing it will not be covered here, but here's some tips, if you do find yourself in this incredibly unfortunate situation:
* Work with other members of the PowerPC community.  Maintainers or contributors of other projects that support 32-bit PPC (like ArchPOWER or Adélie) are often willing to help, share patches, etc.
* Establish a team of multiple people that are also interested in porting your target distro to 32-bit PPC.
* Try to get a minimum-viable-product built first, before trying to get anything more difficult. Tackle basic system utilities (coreutils, bash, util-linux), important applications (an init system), and important libraries (libc, libstdc++, readline) first, and see if you can get something booting.
