Fedora Core 3 works on the Mac Mini. Went through Colin's

dual booting, DVD playing, etc. all work seamlessly. Thanks for all your
work.
Rock! We have a kernel that works
Was this rawhide or FC-3 (fedorappc release)?
Some questions:
1. Colin, I'm gonna send you a diff of your instructions to contain
stuff for Mini users, as well as clear some things up I found confusing.
Before I finish, though, I have to know: is the boot.iso askmethod
install mandatory for all installs? I did a network install for various
reasons.
Sure, diff away.
Not really; linux askmethod was so we could get CDROM installs going. I
think we need to fix anaconda, so the doco in place at hte moment makes
room for that
2. Wade: installed system-config-soundcard-1.2.10-2wm (thanks for
your
work), the soundcard is detected (the tools says it'll use snd_powermac)
but I can't hear anything when the test sound is played (I hear there's
something weird with volume control on the card - maybe that's it?). On
the console, I get
'amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device'
I know this sounds silly, but running strace doesn't seem to show the
device its looking for. Maybe I'm blind.
What does your /etc/modprobe.conf look for sound? Paste the output here
