Banana's a router. Satan was one for a while, but I cycled it out due to some flakiness with the NICs.

Oh, bugger. This BB doesn't hold state very well. Obviously that 'Guest' was me.

finally got x working on 9100/132
i think it's got 116 ram or something weird like that
any hints to get sound to work
cd audio and real player both get nothing
don't have any mp3s to try
--
i had mklinux dr3 and then r2 on 8100/100
but now i got this 9100
everything yellow dog 3.01
is on external 9 gig scsi drive
i didn't install gnome and wish i had
will that be hard to do w/o anaconda?
--
will the pci (i think it's pci)
nic from the 8100 stick in a
pii 166 mmx ?
--
also i tried taking the hdd from the 8100
and daisying it in the 9100
but i was reading somthing about internal drives
having scsi terminated and gave up
--
wish sound would work but i'm really pleased with
yellow dog
i can use firebird!

kuon [Proto-Indo-European for "dog"]:
6500/275 motherboard in a Performa LC 630 case
Sonnet L2/G3 on board but never succeeded to get it work under linux...

heios [Proto-Indo-European for "gold", nearest I could find to "yellow"]:
iBook2 700GHz

that "guest" who just posted was me.

i shouldn't have listed the iBook of course..

PowerCenter Pro 240
64 MB RAM
2 MB ATI (stock) video card
everything is stock except for the additional 9 GB ultra wide SCSI drive

This box needs more RAM and a better video card.

PM 7600
CPU G3 500
RAM 448 Mb
9GB SCSI HD on built in SCSI
PCI USB/Firewire card (Ratoc PC1FU1P)
PCI UW SCSI card (ADPT 2940)
9GB UW SCSI HD

New to PPC Linux and only just installed YDL 3.01, having trouble with sound and had to use the internal SCSI drive as it wouldn't mount the fs on the UW drive.

Thinking about sticking in a PCI sound card?

wow, some pretty dandy machines still active out there hehe.

My fist machine ever..
6100/60 ppc
ram 72mb
2gb hd
running RHL5.1 (Rough cuts box set), now i'm trying to install YDL2.3/3.0

G3, 266
ram 192mb
running os9.2.2 and ydl 3.0.1 very smoothly!

PPC 7200/90

Ram: 48 Mb
Hd: 4Gb + 500 Mb + 40 Mb


Going to install Ydl 3.0.1
Now got it running on Mac Os 8.6 (Swedish)

I have YDL 2.3 on my 8500/120.
Lately upgraded to a "vast" 48 MB RAM...

And now even Fedora Core 2 with Firefox compiled on a
PII "super" computer!
(As you may know YDL 4 is based on Fedora Core Linux, the new replacement
for userbase Red Hat).

I have A very rare MAC
it's a PowerPC G3 (Pre USB & "Special" Sound Card by Dimond")

233 mhz
192mb ram
4GB ATA HD
?20x ATA cdrom.
onboard ATI Rage 64
Mac Color 16in monitor.

but the sound card is all Fubared, so is the monitor. The os keeps puting the desktop off the visible screen and i have fubared controls over the monitor.

other than that it runs fine.
