Other problems encountered: It doesn't autodetect my DHCP configuration, in fact it doesn't even try. So I had to enter that information by hand. While partitioning the harddrive I still had my previous partitions setup. I tried to set their use to a "just use" but the only options available to me for ALL the partitions was: Use as a newworld bootstrap partition or use as a swap partition. In the end I just deleted all linux partitions and used the guided partitioner to setup everything once again. When I selected finish partitioning, it gave me the list of partitions it was going to set up, but the only partition that it listed with a file-system type was the swap partition. At the end of the guided partioning I didn't get a message complaining about not finding a newworld bootstrap partition which is a first. However the yaboot installer can't find it. I don't have an easy way to get the syslog off of the powerbook and onto this computer otherwise I would be able to post that somewhere for perusal. At the original bootprompt I just pressed enter. I may retry with an install-powerpc option. Lakin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
