I think there's an endian problem, as you just get white-noise at the end of it (or at least, I did with the iBook 500Mhz).

Although the latter plays local files fine. apt-get install xmms-cdread configure that to be used, rather than audio-cd. There is no analogue connection between the CD-ROM drive and the sound card, so it has to be ripped digitally.

Anyway, the only thing I can think of is the WinTV PVR USB, which produces an MPEG2 stream. There are drivers, though they're probably resolutely x86 endian unless you're lucky. http://pvrusb.sf.net Otherwise, the wintv usb device manages a whopping 15 fps at 384x288 or so. L.

date problems
I'm being freaked out by a really weird bug. iBook2, running testing, with 2.4.16-ben0 as the kernel. The machine is convinced it's a month ahead (as the headers on this mail probably say). I can reset the date with date, but as soon as I put the machine to sleep or reboot it, it'll jump forward a month. (Actually, now that I think about it, it's now jumped forward another month, so I'm now 2 months ahead). (My .config is on another drive, but I have CONFIG_PPC_RTC on) L. -- dBP db | If you're looking at me to be an accountant dBP | Then you will look but you will never see dBPdBBBK' | If you're looking at me to start having babies dBPdB' db | Then you can wish because I'm not here to fool around dP dP' | Belle & Sebastian (Family Tree) pgpAOZDBcEREW.pgp Description: PGP signature

There is a good reason it's suggested, but running ybin will adjust your OF variables to boot from the right partition. The reason it's suggested you do it that way is that when you lose all your OF variables, OF boots the first partition on the drive. If the yaboot one is first, then you'll get your menu and away you go. Otherwise, when it happens, you need to know which partition yaboot is on, and you need to drop into OF (Command-Option-O-F) and boot from that partition: boot hd:15,yaboot (change the 15 to your Apple_Bootstrap partition). (The OS that's really fussy about drive layout is NetBSD).

Unfortunately, Ireland is participating, and I haven't yet seen a distro
with an Irish keymap. (It's the english one with EuroSign on either 2 or 4
depending on the arch (Apple put it on 2 for some god unknown reason. Of
couse they also ship US keyboards all over the world..))
( { [ 2, at ],
[ EuroSign ] };)
(That said, I'm still having enough problems getting the Euro to work even
when the keyboard does type it. Some apps like currency, some like EuroSign,
and most just sit there stupidly ignoring me. Probably something I've missed
somewhere).

if it's just adding an extension:
for FILE in * ; do
if [ -f "${FILE}.mp3" ] ; then
echo "${FILE}.mp3 already exists!"
else
mv "${FILE}" "${FILE}.mp3"
fi
done
if they already have extensions, you can use rename:
rename MP3 mp3 *.MP3
