I think several people are using it. I replied earlier to someone having trouble getting WEP to work. I got them off on the right direction. Unfortunately, I can't tell you it works because I'm still on Linux/PPC until RC1 comes out because of a boot issue with the installer. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org Wizard's First Rule - People are stupid, they will believe anything if they want it to be true or they fear it is true - Terry Goodkind

RC_1 (Release Candidate) will be out "Very Soon Now" (TM), but this will be ISO's - so it will not help you install over the net. For this you will want to get the contents of "/boot" from one of the mirrors and then select a net install (I hope you have a fast connection). What is on the mirror now is essentially the contents of RC_1, although we're bouncing back and forth about which kernel to use for the installer. As far as the Airport - I don't have the luxury myself, but there is kernel support for the device.

Re: Beta 2/RC1 + AirPort config/encryption?
Hi Sylvain, A new release is in the works, but to my knowledge, it has not yet been released. The only way I could fathom installing directly by net would be to attempt to net-boot the installer and then choose to install via FTP and have the files from the ISOs mounted somewhere that you can FTP to. I'm not entirely sure how you'd go about doing this, but I can't imagine that it'd be easy! As for AirPort stuff - should be compiled in the kernel, you'll need the iwtools package, though - much like you do for wireless access under x86 Linux. There are quite a few HOWTOs out there for setting up wireless using iwtools - check those out, if you still have problems, let us know. From my experiences, setting up & using AirPort works the same as most other wireless cards.

Beta 2/RC1 + AirPort config/encryption?
Hello I was on holidays for the last two weeks, and I'll receive my new iBook in 2-3 days (coz it was lost by the transporter, thanks TNT, computer ordered 1 month ago..grr), and this is my first mac... Since the beta 1 is very old, I was wondering if there will be a new version released soon. If not, how can I install cooker, directly by the net if possible..? By the way, what is the address of the faq on cooker/mdk ppc please? Is there any special tricks to do to configure the AirPort connection, and particulary the encryption? Thank you very much for your answers Sylvain OBEGI Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.vtr-hardware.com - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ : 661913
