>I too have a G4 (cube), and i try from time to time to get freebsd installed on it. current state of affairs last i tried, was the the ppc sysinstall was not able to write changes to a partition table (ie, cannot remove old and then recreate new) partitions. also, the boot loader is a bit screwy, and i decided i would try again later when things worked more like they do on i386. http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/ppc.html forgive my foul language, but linux-ppc works like a charm. cheers, -- Jonathan Horne http://dfwlpiki.dfwlp.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
