Hello Fritz, That G3 machine can be reanimated if you will use custom/minimal installation iso, and if you will follow installation in text mode. If CD drive cannot be used, then you can use debootstrap with some manual steps. Regarding hibernation, try to find identificator for your swap and point value of kernel boot parameter to swap identificator. Once done, you will be able to hibernate your machine. But suspend to RAM, that make no sense on ancient computers.

@Peter: OK, thanks for the hints, I'll check into it . . . I don't keep ALL of my emails though, but I appreciate that you don't want to repeat your self. As mentioned at the beginning of this thread, this latest question is for my '00 PM 3,1 Sawtooth, G4 . . . RAM is "maxed" out to a raging 2 GB, and it has a used bought on eBay super hot CPU-- OWC Mercury Extreme clocked at 1.2 GHz . . . totally "custom" . . . but no "suspend" or "hibernate" functions in linux. Also I have a more or less functional G4 iBook, now running Lubuntu 16.04 && 10.4.11 . . . .
And then there is the G3, aka "the paperweight" . . . completely non-functioning, provided by Lubuntu PPC team for "testing" . . . possibly at some point i **might** try to get the HD from my now non-working G4 iMac 800 and see if putting that in the G3 will "revive" it . . . . Not holding too much hope for the G3, seems like there are too many "problems" for it to ever work, let alone test latest linux systems like 16.04 on it--RAM is maxed at 300 or 400, cpu is "slow" . . . so, no I wasn't talking about the G3. If by some "miracle" it gets going with the HD switch, then I'll post back--meanwhile it's just holding up a stack of books--toasted. : - ) F On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 9:47 AM, Peter Golis <gol...@centrum.sk <gol...@centrum.sk>> wrote: On Mon, 2016-05-09 at 08:38 -0700, Fritz Hudnut wrote:Hello Fritz,You can check email from end of march, with subject "Re: [lubuntu-users] Is there a difference in radeon boot params for PPC" and sentence which began "My yaboot.conf have included parameters". Do you still use grub on your installation as you had mentioned one year ago? Just to clarify how to adapt configuration.PS: MAC OS X 10.5 had minimal requirements PowerPC G4 CPU with 512 MB of RAM. How did you get started on your 15 years old G3? You are not kidding, right? Peter.
