Mac Projects- YellowDogLinux on Powerbook G3 Wallstreet
All seems to be well in Powerbook land, because I wisely chose YDL 3 for this machine. There is a posting on the YDL forums at www.yellowdog-board.com about installing YDL 4.1 onto the Wallstreet (Powerbook G3 Series). But it requires a customizes kernel from shiner.info (thats the Apple Network Server) and much fiddling. I'm a little worried that it will render my installation inoperative, but I'll try it if I ever have to reinstall.
During the install I missed a partition but VoX helped me edit my /etc/fstab to get it back. Thanks again VoX!
I added the freshrpms repository to yum.conf and now I have added a few extra bits of software like trusty old Firefox. I have also added the Blackbox window manager. Any other repositories I can add?
I still have these issues left to fix:
Control-clicking doesn't work. Rumor has it there is a forum post but I haven't found it yet. So far I have been using F11.
I downloaded Audacity, but it doesn't seem to record through the built-in mic. I need to read up the help files and about the aRTs sound manager.
I can't find any sleep option.
But this installation sure was easier than Ubuntu for OldWorld!
