Hi After many attempts I finally managed to install Mandrake Linux 8.2 PPC on my beige G3 MT 333. However, I had to remove both the UW-SCSI (SYM53c875) and USB/FireWire (OrangeMicro) PCI cards to get that far. When I keep these installed, I cannot boot (BootX) as either the kernel somehow has a problem handling USB devices on an ADB native Mac, or the install program freezes when trying to install the driver for the SCSI card.
Can you please help me? In addition, I also removed my Voodoo 2 3Dfx card as I did not dare hitting more conflicts. So I used the built in ATI Rage II video card. Is my Voodoo 2 card supported? Would it be better than using the ATI one? Last but not least, once I had Linux running, I noticed some graphical glitches in the fonts: about 5 pixels are randomly missing per character. It does not look like a general video problem as the graphics (icons and so on) did not miss any pixels. Only the fonts. Any idea what's going on? Thanks in advance best regards Fred
