I for the most part have mostly used "something else" with manual partition, on Intel MBPro . . . the "boot loader" partition is "bios_grub" and grub is installed there. Without that partition it says "successful install" . . . but system will not boot into linux. But, PPC is a tad different in that it uses Yaboot . . . and I usually am short on time so I haven't looked into the PowerPCFAQ author's suggestion to try GRUB . . . and, with some installs if I try to use "automatic" it won't install Yaboot . . . so I also lately have been using "manual" and in this case I've done it a number of times, previously no problems with the install selecting "new world boot" as the label for Yaboot, and ext4 flagged as "/" . . . and on some forum it may have been said that "Yaboot might not install into the partition, but it looks for it" . . . . But, mainly posting here because there was some discussion about "installer issues with desktop iso"??? My last install on the iBook was not that long ago and I used the mini installer and blithely selected "GNOME DE" from the drop down menu, not knowing that GNOME required 1GHz processor . . . other than that the install went well . . . using my same "manual" partition scheme that I used in the last two attempts. So something seems to have changed, I don't recall seeing the "/" label on the New World Boot partition the last time, and I was/am thinking that the dual "/" caused "internal conflict" in the installer's "mind" . . . but, neither one of them could be adjusted or changed . . . . I'm assuming that from what you are saying that "/boot" label would go on Yaboot/grub partition??? But, there was no choice provided for any label there, only in the "ext4" partition could options for "/home" or something like that be made in a drop down menu . . . but ***historically*** I always picked "/" for the "ext4" . . . and it all "went well."
