Just some notes that might be of some help to the list: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I got the current version to work by doing the following. |
| 4 |
1) Burn the Apr 18 iso |
| 5 |
2) Burn another cd with the Apr 5th bz2 and Apr 18th iso |
| 6 |
2a) Make a yellowdog 2.2 cd |
| 7 |
2b) Create partitions in the yellowdog installer and reboot / eject |
| 8 |
2b) boot from Apr 18th iso |
| 9 |
3) Right after making partitions / formatting mkdir /mnt/gentoo/tmp |
| 10 |
4) copy the apr 5th bz2 to /mnt/gentoo/tmp |
| 11 |
5) untar the apr 18th bz2 from /mnt/gentoo |
| 12 |
6) untar the apr 5th bz2 from /mnt/gentoo/tmp |
| 13 |
7) cp /mnt/gentoo/tmp/usr/bin/rsync /mnt/gentoo/usr/bin/rsync |
| 14 |
8) proceed as normal. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Using these steps I now have a G4 powerbook running gentoo, in less than |
| 17 |
12 hours start to finish. Hope this helps. |

mac-fdisk isn't included either... But I'm sure kain will have a fix out |

There are a few quick hacks available at the moment to solve the most |
| 48 |
urgent |
| 49 |
issues: |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
rsync: use a libpopt from penguinppc.org or a ydl one. |
| 52 |
mac-fdisk: you can use the old iso to partition your hard disk. |
