Hi, so... I got a brand new powerbook 12" from my institute but cannot stand MacOSX... I gave fink + ports a chance but it's too widgy for me and I hate the terminal they have... Installing the ports takes ages and the result is not nice and fragile... I want GNU/Linux (debian) on my ppc box. No

Hi Anthony, I don't use the Wallstreet any more, so I can't tell you if I used the ramdisk option or not in BootX. You probably need it if your kernel uses modules that are in initrd (the "initial" ramdisk, which I think this option refers to, see [1] below for more information). If the option

Hi list: With 2.6.15-rc[56] using ProFont6x11 on console is impossible because the characters appear garbled when you begin typing. With 2.6.14.x it could be used without problem. Is this due to a bug in rivafb or because it's needed a new option to be passed at kernel boot time?. Until now I wa

The package MLton, which is normally uploaded to i386, failed to build on PowerPC again [1]. The reason is because the buildd tried to build it on voltaire. The package builds fine on malo [2], because malo has sufficient RAM (>=512M). I tried earlier [3] to get voltaire more RAM, and had arranged
