I don't know, but reckon you can. Do you know why I think that? I can use my apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse with no linux bluetooth support, use them to install gentoo from the livecd, and even get it to boot from cd (hold c while turning it on). Also, yaboot ultimately references openfirmware device names, which should be available at power on. -- Mike Williams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
