Bringing this back on list, because my tiny brain cant deal with

What spec ibook ?

Which install ISO's are you using ?
Can you tell which kernel it is booting ?

Tks.jason
Ok.. there is no ISO file in that directory. You might find your
experience would be better if you used the ISO files from:
http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/fedorappc/FC-3/isos/ rather than FC2
based ISO files.

wanted to
install FC2 but I guess I can use FC3. Thanks for the help. Jason
Kind regards

Hi all, I just bought an iBook G4 a few days ago, and I'm dying to get
Fedora Core 2 installed on it. I followed these instructions here -
http://www.bytebot.net/geekdocs/ibook/fc2ppc.html
I have the iso burned, and get the yaboot prompt. When I type "mac", or
"mac text", or "mac noprobe", it starts to install, I see some linux
output,
but then quickly the video display output dies on me, and I need to
reboot.
>> Ok, its failing on "openpic exit", in case that helps.
All I set up were 2 partitions, splitting the 30g harddrive in two. The
first partition is the Mac, the second is meant for linux.
I see references to using mac-fdisk, but can't get to a point in the
install
where I have that opportunity. It's a linux-based utility,
right?
I don't see how I can create a bootstrap partition either, I've read that
I
should be doing that as well.
I have no interest in running Mac OS X, to be honest, got the laptop
because
its real tiny, not crazy expensive, and can support running Fedora.
Any/all advice is appreciated, sincerely. Thanks. Jason
