Fantastic. You found the good combinaison. I though i read it somewhere at the begining of the summer but couldnt find it. It works just like 8.2, ie not perfect but can install something.. Theres still a probleme with partionning if you try to create or change a reiserfs. There is a error with « unable to umount the proc You have to manually format then reboot, restart the installation without changing the partition table. Also, the individual package selection just dont care of what you want or not. > You installed 9.1 on this machine once?

Hum ? > install-gui gui-old video=aty128fb Try that and every other combinaisons but the problem is the default 1024x768.that I get. I think that my ibook firewire 366 is always detected as a Powerbook/imac 1024x768. That is, that all. Could it be change? What info you need ? Pascal

Did you note the r128 message at the yaboot prompt? install-gui gui-old video=aty128fb -- Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft
