Did installing MOL *totally* trash my system?

Oh no After spending countless hours fine-tuning my new Debian SID install, now my Powerbook won't boot in to Linux :-( Everything was fantastic -- sound, sleep, kde 3.2.3, everything! But then I got curious and tried to apt-get install mol. It installed the 2.4.25 kernel along with it

[PATCH 2.6] Add back beep support to snd-powermac

Hi, The attached patch adds back the beep support to sound/ppc/pmac.c, aka snd-powermac, and adds a dependency on INPUT in sound/ppc/Kconfig. The patch is based on the code that used to be present in that file, and got removed in early april last year. I ported it to the input event interface

Most Polite Apps for Window Managers?

I'm considering moving from one of the giant desktop environments (Gnome) to a svelter window manager (blackbox or windowmaker.) I understand some apps require only the gnome or kde toolkits, while others require the whole kit-and-kaboodle to operate. I'm wondering if these app categories can

I have been having the exact same problem on an older imac (G3). It has a 6GB hard drive so I don't think that's a problem. I ran into the problem using the netinstall PPC relasese candidate (both business card and standard 110mb installs). I don't have access to that system for a while,

[SOLVED!] Re: Did installing MOL *totally* trash my system?

Hey Thanks Guys! Typing old before the kernel loaded boots me back into my old kernel and works great. So now I'll play around with making sure I've got a kernel with a matching mol module and see if I can get that working. Thanks again for saving my installation! Sean -- : : : : :
