Hello all, I'm new to the debian crowd, but have been the sysadmin of many RedHat servers for years. I have an original 66Mhz bus "snow" ibook, and desperately want to use debian on it. I assure you I have tried to RTFM (mailing list archive, google searches, install guides, etc) for a long time before emailing this...
I have gotten this far: X works, not accelerated, but I can handle working on that later. Sound works. Power Management works. I have not tried USB, Firewire, or video out. The big kicker is that I can't get my network to work. I installed via ethernet, but after I followed the directions at ibooklinux.net to install a precompiled benh kernel -- ethernet is broken. (I did add the alias gmac eth0 line to modules.conf, didnt' help) It appears that my airport card has taken the role of eth0, and my ethernet port is nowhere to be found. I haven't tried to set up the airport card yet, but running ifconfig shows teh MAC address of my airport card for eth0. I would like to have airport working, so I can use it at home, but again -- one step at a time. :) Sorry to send out the "help me I can't get my computer working" email, but I really do want to use debian, and not have to install OSX again. Thank you, -Shawn Powers -- Shawn Powers Technology Director Inland Lakes Schools PHN: 231-238-6868 ext 9174 FAX: 509-356-7024 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
