It basically takes the name of 1 server as argument: ntpdate ntp.example.com Christiaan

I think the ntpd start up script will run it for you if you put an ntp server in the file /etc/ntp/step-tickers . The script is /etc/init.d/ntpd - you can run it manually as root after you created the file /etc/ntp/step-tickers: /etc/init.d/ntpd start or just reboot (: (If ntpd is configured to run but the time is way off you should see it complaining in /var/log/syslog ...)

I do have some bandwidth, so I put my locally built packages online. This has only a few rpms that are not on mirrors, Olivier is doing a good job on keeping up. It can be used together with cooker/ppc main and contrib sources. RPMS: http://www.time4t.net/~cjw/mdk-cooker-ppc/RPMS2/ SRPMS for this: http://www.time4t.net/~cjw/mdk-cooker-ppc/SRPMS2/ hdlist: http://www.time4t.net/~cjw/mdk-cooker-ppc/Mandrake/hdlist.cz for apt I use the following line in my sources.list: rpm http://www.time4t.net/~cjw/mdk-cooker-ppc Mandrake/hdlist RPMS2 Christiaan

I assume you did check that your mirror is up-to-date, since mdk mirrors seem to be having some problems now. > I really would like to keep in sync. with all the goodies on the ibook. > Am I alone ? You're not alone (: I build some packages locally, so my ppc box is pretty close to cooker/i586. If someone knows how I can automatically remove old RPMs and SRPMs I may be able to generate a hdlist for this and make it available over http and/or ftp. It's not a complete set of packages, however - only packages I use (so no kde for example). Christiaan
Re: Sound not working with 8.2 and OldWorld G3

I get the best results with ALSA, but I don't know if the version in the kernel you use is recent enough. You should probably upgrade to 9.1 ... just do: modprobe snd-pcm-oss modprobe snd-card-awacs modprobe snd-powermac Only one of the last two modules is present, depends on the alsa driver version. ALSA comes up with volume muted by default, you can get sound working by launching alsamixer in a terminal. Unmute "master", and turn up the volume on "master" and (1st?) "headphone". I use gnome-alsamixer but I doubt you have it on your 8.2 CDs (would be in contrib). Christiaan

Internel ethernet on beige G3s is called "bmac". Christiaan
mozilla 1.4b
For anyone interested, I put mozilla 1.4b cooker packages built for ppc on http://www.time4t.net/~cjw/mdk-cooker-ppc/RPMS/ I built them with debug enabled so they spit out some messages when started from a terminal. Regular 1.4a/b builds crash on startup on my mac. The galeon package there starts up but crashes easily. The mozilla 1.4b build itself seems to be very stable though. Christiaan
