basic mac os newbie questions
I'm tring to install debian on my laptop here, but I don't have a floppy drive :/ I don't have linux working yet, I still have to get mac os on there so i can boot it. I have a disk image I need to mount, only the disk copy that comes with mac os 8.0 is too damn stupid to let me mount it because this image is on a cd i burnt on my other computer, a winblows machine, so the stupid file type is wrong. I'm wondering if there is some way to dell the damn program "YES I WANT TO MOUNT THE DAMN THING" or to change the file type. As a side note, while i'm typing, does anyone know just how to mount a cd in the internal cd drive on a powerbook 1400?
powerbook, 100% done!!!
thx to all!! now it is my time... coming soon "debian-on-powerbook-italian.HOWTO" :-) Ivan p.s. my 2 cents timidity works correctly using a buffer lesser than 2048, the default 8192 is too big and a lot of sound data are lost using -B n,8 in the command line works fine ( n buffers of 2^8 bytes, 1

Trying the patch to libc seems like a good idea here. Michael
Re: R_PPC_REL24 relocation out of range
this code works on x86 so i believe it's a ppc-specific problem. using -fPIC everywhere reduced the number of these errors but didn't eliminate them. (i may try rebuilding libc6 with the recommended patch to see if it helps) these are modules that are being loaded "manually" using dlopen: dlopen(fullname.c_str(), RTLD_NOW ); and the dlerror() output looks like: R_PPC_REL24 relocation at 0x6ccdd774 for symbol `g_char_traits1ZcZt24__default_alloc_template2b1i0UiUi' out of range this thing i'm running probably really pushes everything. the memory footprint is about 50MB with almost everything loaded.

Hi, Try to use SuSE PPC 2.4.2 or 2.4.6 kernel branches, they come with support for ReiserFS and JFS. 2.4.2 works just great, I see no reasons to stick with 2.2.x anymore. See my web site (Linux Tips and Tricks) for more details. * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * e-mail --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * Personal Home Page * * http://homepage.mac.com/macgurutemple/ * * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site *
accelerated x on lombard powerbook g3
After researching the possibility of running xfree4 with accelerated graphics on my lombard powerbook (ati rage lt pro gfx chip) I discovered that the information available seems to be mostly linuxppc/yellowdog specific and it is also in fragments. Could somebody please summarise the options available (which server/kernel is required etc.) for doing this in debian ? I am running debian unstable with bens 2.4.6 kernel. regards Boz
