Re: [newbie] eMac Video Card Config. Problem
Two more quick questions: The installation instructions tell me to leave the linux partition as Free Space using a partitioning utility in Mac OS, but can I also use UNIX File System? Can the Mandrake OS use this? See, I can't see the partition when running under Mac OS X, but the UNIX File System is a supported format, so I reckon it would see that. BTW, what are all these Short Message Delivery Report e-mails I'm getting each time I post? Thanks, Gabriel Morales http://Gamoe.net/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] eMac Video Card Config. Problem
I think my post may have been a bit unclear. Let me re-phrase it The first part should read: Hello, I am on a 1 Ghz eMac with a (standard) built in ATI Radeon 7500 GPU w/AGP 4X support. I have successfully installed Mandrake 9.1, but the screen goes black when it should give me the GUI. Things is, I don't even know how to change the configuration or what to change it to. Any suggestions? -- Stephen Kuhn wrote: You might want to get to a console login - try hitting CTRL-ALT-F2 - see if that brings you to a text based prompt - if so, then login as root, and run XFdrake - change the monitor settings and video settings as you see fit to suit your monitor and video card, then reboot... I am going to try your suggestion, Stephen. I'l get back to you on this. Thanks, Gabriel Morales http://Gamoe.net/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Unfortunately, it didn't work. That key combination seemed to do nothing. Can I do this via Open Firmware by any chance? Or is there another way?

Re: [newbie] palm
Hello! I have an eMac, running Mac OS X. I want to install Mandrake just for fun. Anyway, I downloaded and burned the three 9.1 CDs and I've managed to get the installer up and running. However, when I am presented with the initialization and formatting options, I don't know how to select an external drive. Is this possible? If so, how would I go about it?
