cooker-install
hi all what's the status of the plan to create a basic boot cd from which it would be possible to make a cooker install for ppc i great idea in my view Sounds like you are at least functional then with cooker? Once the remaining packages appear, things should get better. Any idea when ? Days or weeks ? No idea. Once I find out, I'll spread the word though :) i have an second (basic install of mandrake 8.2 ppc) on one of my partitions. could i install cooker from there??? provided off course that cooker is functional. hoping for good news Thomas Geenen

Re: s3 driver for xfree86 4.2.0-10.3
oke i have been asking this question in the xfree86 mailinglist The problem seems to be that my graphics card is intel based. therefore firmware can not initialise the card (although it seems to recognize it since the information of my card comes from /proc/pci) There seems to be a way of dumping the bios of this card on an intel machine and use it to initialise the card in ppc. Is this a inteligent way to go or should i just buy a card that can be recognised by firmware. thanks Thomas Geenen On Sunday 11 August 2002 18:33, you wrote: dear diamond stealth 64 lovers I want to get my second graphics adapter to work. a diamond stealth 64 vram S3 Inc. 86c968 [Vision 968 VRAM] rev 0 (rev 0) ramdac chip IBM RGB526CF I think i tracked the problem down to the fact that the s3 driver is absent from my system.

Thomas It would be risky at best. I wouldn't try it without a good backup. I had modified the installer to be able to deal with DOS partition tables for the IBM machines, but it's largely untested, and if this is an Apple, I'm not sure how booting will play out with a DOS table. Parted would be the tool to use if you wanted to try such a thing. If you already have a Mac partition table on another drive, you may be able to install on that drive as is, but use the other one for the bootstrap etc. Again, untested. Stew Benedict

MacOS did finally come up from a CD, but wanted to reinitialize the hard disk. I tried to re-install MacOS twice to get back to BootX and look at your issue, but the install just hung. Something you could try: Boot the rescue image and try to get the initrd the installer created from the Linux side to MacOS. You'll need either a network up or an HFS partition you can mount to do the transfer. I've got some other, non-computer things todo today, but I'll get back on this on Monday.
