Thanks.
That's why I prefer newsgroups to mailing lists. I have to subscribe to

Thanks for the fast fix. As it seems, you are somehow responsible for a
lot of stuff, I will send you some other bugs I found in the
multi-arch/ppc book (by mail, not to the list). Sorry, but I'm to lazy
to send a mail to subscribe, a mail to confirm, a mail with the bugs and
a mail to unsubscribe the dev-list.
Blame me for that and put my mail address in your spam filter if you
don't want the other mail with the bug reports.

Sorry, I don't understand this question. I don't know any 'dd' for the installation of Linux. If you don't like to compile you own Linux, just use one of the available distribution. The are fast to install and easy to use. And most (if not all) of them are available for free if you download them from the net.

Andreas Fehr wrote: Hi * I run into a different problems with my mac mini and LFS. I didn't find answers in the book and am not sure, if there is a list with ppc topics. So if I'm wrong in this list, please let me know. I have a running LFS system, but I'm not able to use my own kernel. I have copied one of yellow-dog-linux. So I guess, yaboot and all the boot stuff is correct. As soon as I copy one of my kernels, the system hangs or comes up with a of boot error message. a) does this sound as a known problem of beginners? b) in the arch/ppc/boot/images directory of the kernel, I found 6 or 7 files that might be kernels. which one do I have to copy into my /boot directory? (none of the i386 systems I set up had similar problems) (and yes, I did use some .config file of ydl (though I'm not sure it was the most recent one)) Whenever I build kernels on the ppc, I just use the uncompressed kernel, the 'vmlinux' file that shows up in the top of the kernel tree after you're done compiling.
