Hi,
I am about to install debian on my g4 (alu) powerbook. I would like
to have a dual boot system and if possible, preserve my current OS X
installation. Two questions:

Can anyone tell me what I did?

Hi all-
I'm stuck in TWM/X Windows because, I believe, I forgot to add the
-exitonFail parameter to an xconsole entry in my .xsession file.
So I'm staring at my root window and a console window that says
"Couldn't open console." Nothing more.
Doesn't seem like I can switch to another terminal. (

Does anyone have a .deb, since I am too lazy to do it myself? A
.config could do the job too.

Hi,
I'm currently in big trouble because my iBook/G4 (bought a couple
of weeks ago) is crashing all the time.
There has been occasional crashes in the past which I thought
were related to the sleep support and linux-wlan-ng.
Since yesterday it crashes during file system check of any
partition. I

Hi,
I've got a serious problem with my ibook/G4. Since yesterday there
are frequent kernel crashes. No chance to get the system up without
a kernel crash. Booting in single user mode usually works, probably
because of much less disk io. As soon as larger processes like
postgresql or X11 are starte

What is exactly mkvmlinuz, and how to use it?
What I could gather is that it puts a reduced version of the
kernel somewhere in OpenFirmware, so one can do without yaboot. But
then how to boot?

I've compiled kernels before (it's been a while, however), and I

just point yaboot.conf directly at the vmlinux file?

The softmodem in the Albook G4 15" is on the i2c bus and not USB at all.
The 12" probably uses the same softmodem.
Linuxant drivers don't support i2c.
