i finally took the plunge and decided to install the beta iso onto my 
powerbook... here is the specs:(from the apple site)

667MHz PowerPC G4 processor with Velocity Engine
256K of on-chip level 2 cache
512MB of PC133 SDRAM
-Built-in 2D/3D graphics acceleration through an integrated ATI Mobility 
Radeon graphics accelerator with AGP 4X support and 16MB of DDR RAM video 
memory

I used drive setup to make 2 partitions, first has os 9.2 and the second is 
"Unallocated" (ther was no type "Apple Free" so i left it as "Unallocated"). 
booted into mac os 9.2 and everything worked fine. i restarted with "C" to 
boot off the mandrake beta1ppc iso and i get:
"Welcome to Mandrake Linux PPC!"
then a bunch of verticle(sp? up and down:) black lines then the computer 
proceded to boot into os 9.2... i didn't have a chance to pick the video 
mode.
any help getting past this would be appreciated. i am willing to help in any 
way possible debug so just ask ;)
thanks
mike
