Hi,

Just wondering, is it safe to buy a Apple powerbook and install fedora on it 
, will all the hardware be supported. I was thinking of buying the 12" or 
15" powerbook. Your comments on the powerbook are welcome :)

The current Fedora development boot.iso image doesn't work on my
OldWorld Mac (a 7300; tried the kernel and ramdisk with BootX) since I
first tested a couple of weeks ago. The same boot image also doesn't
work with the PearPC emulator. I don't have any more recent hardware to
test on. Maybe other people have had better results.

You may want to take a look at YellowDog Linux, another rpm-based
distro.

Sincerely,

Bob Deblier

I tried the current boot.iso on a G4 machine  and it doesnt get the 
partitioning right  it boots  but screws up the system partitioning

Same error as here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121384

If so could you add details of what exactly happened and how the
partitioning was screwed up.  If not new bug please...

Looks like I better stay away from the power book then :(

No manually partitioning works.  Fedora is running on several macs at
home and in the Cambridge office - with others outside.

There are a few other bugs to hammer out, but autopartitioning is
probably the worst atm.

Once it's installed, it's basically fine. I've been running it on my
powerbook since FC2 and it's now running rawhide quite happily. 

Would be nice if suspend-to-ram would work with the newer powerbooks but
that's a kernel problem which affects all distributions. And _hopefully_
there might be progress on that soon too.

Everything should be supported minus Airport Extreme and sleep for the
newer Powerbooks/iBooks.

We have a list: fedora-ppc(a)lists.infradead.org - please subscribe to it
and we can continue further discussion there

We also have the "install guide" at
http://www.bytebot.net/geekdocs/ibook/fedorappc.html (and who knows,
when you actually read this, it'll be Rawhide ready)
