Re: trouble installing on a mac

Well, I've made some progess. What I needed was the file drivers.tgz, not either of the files driver-1.bin or driver-2.bin. Not sure what they're for. Once I was able to install my modules, I could enable the use of the ppp and compression modules. And _somewhere_ on a web page that some helpfu

I have another mystery plaguing me here. I seem to have the IP connection happening (to judge from plog), but am unable to connect to anywhere (to judge from ping) whether I use the URL (which gives me unknown host) or the numerical designation (which gives me x packets sent, 0 packets returned

Re: ibook2 locking on boot

I booted into the potato install, dropped to a shell, and mount my root FS. It looks like util-linux was updated today. I just moved the hwclock executable and made a link to /bin/true for now...at least I can boot into my system now. "Setting System Clock using the Hardware Clock as reference..."

ibook2 locking on boot
