Re: iMac and Mandrake 9.1 installation
This is to report that now I´m enyoing the Mandrake Linux 9.1 in my 350 MHz iMac. I downloaded the Xserver from a mirror, then run XFdrake and finally I added the line Option UseFBDev true Everything looks fine. Thanks again... And congratulations you have an excelent support..

Re: iMac and Mandrake 9.1 installation
at the console (as root): urpmi XFree86-server XFdrake Then follow up if you're still stuck. -- Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft OK this is what i found : (at the console) urpmi XFree86-server The following packages have bad signatures: /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/XFree86-server-4.3mdk.ppc.rpm Do you want to continue installation? (y/N) if I choose y(es) the system says installing but it hangs after a few pair of seconds. OK, I supposed that probably the media was damaged so I made a new CD but it fails too. What do I have to do? Download the complete CD again or can I download just the XFree86 server? Again, thanks a lot... __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

Yes, you can get just the server package. find a 9.1 ppc mirror and grab it. Since it's pulling from /var/cache, it doesn't appear to be using the CD media. -- Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft
Re: iMac and Mandrake 9.1 installation
Oh! Sorry its true, the XFree86 package is 4.3-5mdk, I´m going to download the server and try again. Thank you... __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.yahoo.com
iMac and Mandrake 9.1 installation
Hi Everyone, I´m trying to install Mandrake 9.1 for PPC in an old iMac (iMac 350 MHz and an ati rage video card) but having a lot of trouble at the end of the installation. I followed the instructions to use: install-gui-benh gui-old (install-gui fail to display correctly the initial screen,install-text doesn´t work neither), with benh the installation process works fine, ejects the cd1 an cd2 and load the cd3, but at the stage of summary says that the graphic interface its not configured, if I choose to configure, it recommends: imac monitor and ati rage video card, Xfree86 3d accel, when I choose next, appears the same screen that appears when it is copying files, seems like its going to load or configure anything else but it hangs, no errors no beep, nothing, the only option then is to reboot, I have tried the same with other XF86 video cards. If I reboot, Linux loads but no in graphical mode, if I type startx it says there is an (errno 2). There is no /var/log/XFree86.0.log file Please help me, I´m sad because I have 6 iMacs that i want to load with Mandrake...but i have to probe that it is possible...Thanks a lot __ Do you Yahoo!?
