Hi,
I've just discovered gnoppix and tested Hoary 0.9.3b3 on a french ibook G3 600Mhz (ibook 2001 late. ed).
It's real good to have a good live CD on ibook. Kuddos to gnoppix/ubuntu developers.
Using the live CD on a G3 is a bit slow but blame it on Apple (slow CDROM). At boot I Just had to enter linux and xorg was configured correctly. It obtained IP through DHCP correctly.
Sole problems noticed :
French Ibook users have to use mac-fr-ext as console keyboard. Non-English Ibook users should therefore run sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data xorg also has to be changed too :
+ Option "XkbModel" "macintosh" + Option "XkbLayout" "fr_new"
- keyboard is not fully ok.
- Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
- Option "XkbLayout" "UNKNOWN"
for frenchies.
I wished there was a graphical way to do it.
sudo apt-get update (non Debian-aware people will miss it) Maybe a link to a text document should be added to the desktop for some keys commands to issue (and also the password)?
- to get apt-cache to work we have to do :
but couldn't find some option. Usually I use knode or slrn on Linux :-)
- I couldn't find an NTTP client. I though evolution supported it
- at boot there were some errors reported about /var/run/pppconfig
Thks guys =D>
