Just wanted to report that I think I have 128-bit encryption working
with the new Airport Base Station (white, dual ethernet ports). I had
been using the first generation Airport Base Station and I am still
using my original Airport card which was presumably updated to support
128-bit encryption
I think that I may try reinstalling everything but this time I will make
three partitions within the first eight gigs. One of four for for OSX.1, two
for Darwin, and two for Linux. The last twelve gigs I wil use for file
storage. Is it possible to have my /home partition at the end of the drive,

That's entirely possible and something I overlooked. I dr
Info on bootloader:
Open firmware booting is weird. First and foremost, there are actually three
files involved in a yaboot configuration. First is, obviously, the kernel.
Second and third are OFBOOT.B and yaboot. OFBOOT.B is some cryptic Forth
commands that instruct Open Firware to display the Ma
Thanks I'll try. Do you think that this could be one of those instances
where the combination of the size of my hard drive and the OF make it
impossible to boot past the 8 gig barrier?

I just checked and the s900 has a mesh controller at scsi 0 where my
cd and hd are. Using 2.4.6 when I specify mesh controller I get
insmod failed. Suse 7.1 works and says it is a mesh controller. I
also tried the newest kernel I could find 2.4.13 and it also got the
same error with all.gz
Cool, thank you!

VI Basics (I'm bored, why not?):
run: vi
type: "I" (w/o quotes)
use arrows to move up/down/left/right, same as SimpleText except W/O a
mouse.
when done, ESC to exit editing mode, and ZZ to save/quit, or use ":q!"ENTER
(w/o quotes).
Example:
vi /mnt/disk/etc/yaboot.conf
DOWN DOWN R
Any time

What he is saying is that with the yaboot.conf you have you will be unable
to boot into failsafe mode because you have a '.' where you should have a
','. He was assuming this was a typo though in
