I'd welcome Mandrake on my iBook because I use it on my main machine.with the 9.1-beta-release it's even worse. the tft is getting black immediately when i try the gui-install, and if i choose intall-text, at the time the installer asks for the resolution, it starts the xserver (which i'm able to see), asks if it's ok - thats the last i can see regardless i answer yes or no - it's getting black again, and i can't complete the install... wolfgang
To Wolfgang (if you want "Linux now"), and to the developpers if you're looking for a solution: Yellow Dog Linux release 2.3 works perfectly on the iBook (but you have to download and install a few "new" rpms to get Xfree running fine.
I am not able to get any informations out of this (except they upgraded the kernel) but developpers may.
What video adapter is in these machines, and did you try the benh kernel option?
