I have the same problem with the jumpy trackpad
(iBook2) while typing, too. At first I thought I was
touching the trackpad with my thumbs, but I don't
think that's it. Something else is causing the focus
to go away from where the user is typing.

Modem on the iBook2/500 does not work. This is fixable
by tweaking the PPP modem timeout values. These values
are known, but this fix has not been applied to the
installer. Thus, even though the fix is known, the
installer still puts in PPP values that will not work.

you right click on the CDROM, there is an option for
eject or unmount (I forget which). When you click
it, it doesn't work because you don't have permission.

Those questions aren't dumb. On the contrary, they are
quite reasonable.
Why does Christopher Molnar have to ask at all?
Because the keystroke to switch to the different

Ben, I think the point I'm trying to make is that even
if Apple is causing the problem, others have managed
to work around it.
In any kind of computing project, sometimes you have
to fix things that you aren't responsible for.
I write web pages. Half my day is spent working around

Phil,
I just ran through this, and nothing jumped out at me
as wrong or misleading. Seems pretty decent.
As a side benefit, reading your docs clued me in on
how to choose file systems (please make ext3 the
default!) when partitioning my drives. Should have
read your guide before installing :)
Hey Colin,
How's that iBook2 how-to coming along? Mandrake 8.2
either 'working' or 'not working' on mine is the
deciding factor on whether or not I keep my iBook or
it goes to eBay...
So I have high hopes that the final actually 'works'.
Did you have to do the modem tweak thing to get it
Well, bad news.
Today I burned the isos for Beta 2 and installed on my
iBook2 when I got home.
I chose expert install. Everything seemed to go fine.
The bug involving the installer not seeing cd #2 is
fixed.
It found my built in ethernet and offered to configure
it. I choose DHCP. It said
Has anyone running Mandrake been able to get an IP
address from an Apple Airport Base Station at boot
time (over either the wired or unwired interface)?
During the install, it finds my built in ethernet and
asks if I want to configure it. Yes, DHCP. Then it
asks if I have another network
Early versions of the iBook2 have an internal hardware
modem that is known to work with Linux. However, the
user has to change some timeout values in the dialer
setup in order for the OS to see the modem.

The internal airport actually is just a card that
slides into a PCMCIA-like slot inside the computer. As
far as I know, Apple does not make actual PCMCIA
versions of the cards. They are all 'internal'.
