Appreciate the encouragement Phill, and the history.
Looking forward to contributing what I can to the team effort. I can see that
you work well together. Though I'm not that familiar with the formal process of
software development, I've been playing around with computers for many years.
Over

might have.

Normally you would edit /etc/yaboot.conf and then use ybin to write the changed
file to the boot loader partition.
but I've never done it. Not even sure where such a line would go.

thing. It seems to me that the test case is

For the time being, I'm reluctant to either pass or fail the test case. Surely
this issue has been raised before.
Any comments would be appreciated.

Interesting to get a glimpse of the thinking that is currently going on.
Am I the only 'old man' in the group. Most of you appear to be of the age I was
40 years ago.
Whatever, I'm impressed at the passion and dedication, and humour I saw in this
group of young people.

Unfortunately guys, it looks like my day will be taken up with
priorities away from the computer, things that can't be put aside.
Won't get to my testing until thin evening. I am GMT - 7, so that will

Your assumed answers are correct except for the last one. Greg will
have to confirm, but here the yaboot command is not required once the

From a purely personal point of view, I need all the testing and
problem encounters I can get. Would be happy to see the alpha tests
done and participate as much as my time allows.
But, given that I'm still a newbie here, I'll will go with whatever

When you get to your blank screen, can you do a to
boot into a command line interface? Let me know. There's another method to
fix the blank screen, and at least get you up and running. It's not the
best of solutions, but it does work. You need to be at a command line

Hi Phill and Devon
Devon's computer has an ATI Rage 128 Pro Graphics card. Suggested the fix
the Greg came up with last fall when we were having trouble with this. It
didn't work for Devon. Will keep combing the PPC pages. I know there's an
answer somewhere.

is that the older PPC's don't seem to have any commonality at all. As I've
said before I wonder if Apple ever made the same computer twice.
