On my dec 2001 Powerbook G4 (667Mhz + Radeon + combo) with Mdk 8.0: boot CD and : install -> install hang because of ati radeon video card (normal, not in kernel) install-text (from cd) -> missing a lot of packages (never ask for 2nd CD) install-text (from HD) -> missing a lot of packages install-text (from net) -> falling in ftp time-out during packages install The only method to me was net-boot and install-net-text. But : yaboot don't install correctly Sol : boot open firmware (alt + cde + OF) type : boot hd:<your partition>;\\yaboot choose "failsafe" or "linux textboot" (otherwise aurora hangs). get and install "linux-benh-devel-2.4.18-pre4-ben0" kernel get and install Xfree 4.2.0 (or cvs 4.1.99) Final : box working with X (1152x768 16/24 bits), audio (except audio CD, someone have the soluce ?), DVD (sound not pretty good), usb mouse. I don't try yet internal modem, irda and airport. PS : I never succeed to install cooker. Olivier.
