Hah, that was a joke based on my past experiences with PPC Linux, rather than a "bug report" for Mandrake. (sound seems to work fine on my iBook2). But I'm glad to know that you care about sound - which is not the case with the developers of some other distros!
I do need to get back to you about something that does not work, however. Do you recall that my system was hanging on the SECOND reboot after install, on a line called "Checking internet connections to start at boot"? I have been able to repeat this problem again and again on this system. During the install, Mandrake picks up my ethernet and airport, and offers to configure both. I choose DHCP. On the first boot, 'determining IP info for eth0' and 'determining IP info for eth1' both fail, but otherwise, the boot process goes normally and the system can be used. On the NEXT boot, 'determining IP info for eth0' and 'determining IP info for eth1' both fail, and about 10 lines later, there is a line that says "checking internet connections to start at boot". It's right under the lines that say: "starting portmon" and "starting console mouse services". I left it on overnight to make sure - it just stays on that line forever. Now, I know that the failure to get IP addresses is 'my' problem - something that doesn't work right with the Airport base station. The part about "checking internet connections to start at boot", however - something needs to change there, especially on portable computers that may/may not get IPs depending on their location. Let me know if you need more detail about this. Thanks, Justin Stew Benedict wrote: >On Sat, 16 Mar 2002, Justin Christopher wrote: > > LOL, dude, just be glad you HAVE sound.> What kind of machine?
