Hi guys, I tried to install yellowdawg -- but it failed. So next I tried deb-eye-an ( i was going to try them all )
Got deb working on text only, so then I mounted the ydl images on a loop mount and found this config tool -- it got ~my~ imac working proper: I am sure this is GNU and I posting it. Since I dont have the source code yet -- this is an internal distribution !! http://www.thinman.com/imac/setupXcfg On Thu, 2003-02-20 at 11:19, bill traynor wrote: > > > Michel D�nzer wrote: > > >On Don, 2003-02-20 at 08:12, Reto Stalder wrote: > > > > > >>I have an iBook 2.2.
