I'm using 15bpp by default, which seems OK on a number of machines. You could try editing line 362 of install_gtk.pm (mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install) and change it to see if 16bpp is better for you. I could then force this the same way I do the resolution, up at line 278. > Besides, in the instructions you posted to the list, you forgot to mention > that we should run make_mdkinst_stage2 after copying the modules file into > mdkinst/lib (at least that was what fixed the "can't load modules" error for > me). > Yes, for ftp install the modules need to be part of mdkinst_stage2.bz2. By default the script you ran only packages them for 1 kernel. I'm looking at that now to see if I can squeeze at least benh and std mdk kernel into it. > Otherwise, everything seemed to work well up to the hard disk partitioning, > where I stopped because I didn't want to copy all the packages over to the > machine I used as FTP server. > Thanks for testing :) Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft PPC FAQ: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ppcFAQ.php3 IRC: irc.openproject.net #cooker-ppc Archives: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-cooker-ppc&r=1&w=2
