Hello - I am completely new to linux and this forum, but fairly adept at OSX including using terminal. I am trying to install YDL 6.2 on a 1.25 GHz emac. I downloaded the isos from a mirror and burned onto CD.
The Install PPC32 command as recommended in the instructions fails. It freezes when it cannot find screen. The forums are filled with reports of this. The command Install-text PPC32 works and leaves me with a basic install with only a root account. I managed to useradd and passwd my way into a new account and visudo to allow this user to run sudo commands. However, I still couldn't run the GUI. startX would freeze. I followed these instructions from a guy installing ubuntu http://crowetech.wordpress.com/2007/04/ ... tallation/ and finally got startx to work and used the GUI environment. However, my airport extreme card wasn't working. I followed these instructions: http://us.fixstars.com/support/solution ... reme.shtml but still no go.
I also notice that the correct devices are not found in the network device manager, but I cannot seem to correct this. Can anyone help?
Mike
