I'm having no problems at all with a PowerLogix G4 card. I think it's 350 MHz.
The BeOS won't boot with it though.
Debian fans may be annoyed by the fact that it comes with a LinuxPPC CD at no
extra charge; however, including some kind of linux in the box suggests they've

Hello again, dear list.
Once more, beginner in the mac world, i ask for your

various large-scale kernel patches are available in debian :
apus, BenH, powerpc... Which one should I use on a tibook ?

Hey all.
I am currently downloading the current potato ISO image - I was thinking
of modifying it to include a later benh kernel (with reiserfs) and stuff.
Do I need to do anything special to make it boot?
According to the docs I've got I have to do "boot cd:,install\powermac\yaboot"

check out the tune2fs program, but you can't change the number of
inodes with this program. the reserved space can be, though.
tar the files up and compress them "cd tar Icf /tmp/tarball.bz ."
you can just put the tar file on the hfs partition, but you might be

Andrew,
Thanks for your nice feedback. This is extremelly helpful.
Is it possible to change anything on the current partition without
reformatting it or am I just doomed to tarball all the content, move it
somewhere else (I can always zap my macos 9 partition I haven't touched for
months...) and

I use the partition for a bunch of cvs trees so this is a high probability.
Thanks for pointing this out. Is there a way to increase inode numbers on a
partitions (even without reformatting)? Is ext2 giving me less inodes than
ext3 on a partition? Should I switch to xfs or reiserfs for this partiti

For powerpc, this is *both* the broken one *and* the latest from sid

The message= configuration option makes yaboot read the specified
filename and print its contents to the screen after init-message and
before the boot: prompt. This could be quite useful for distros
making bootable CDs so they may include some brief instructions for
users.
