Going back to the original statement I made when I started this thread |
8 |
- I had never built a PPC kernel before so instead of creating my own |
9 |
configuration I simply started with the config file that was used by |
10 |
the kernel on the install CD. I can always take things out later. All |
11 |
I was trying to do today was to get the machine to boot and start an |
12 |
emerge -DuN world, and I did that much anyway. |

Will do. The machine is busy for the rest of the evening so that will |
20 |
be tomorrow. Booting with {none} using the install kernel is the same |
21 |
problem I'm having booting my kernel so your idea about saving this |
22 |
data is good. thanks. |

No, I'm using VGA. My Mini came with a little unit that screws into |
29 |
the DVI port and has a 15-pin VGA connector on the outward side to |
30 |
drive a regular monitor. the monitor worked with OS X on this machine |
31 |
before I blew OS X away today. |

Yeah, I think that's just an oversite on the developer's part. Better |
39 |
that they make a DVD iso image if they need to make it that big or |
40 |
else cut out a few packages. I tried to order anything larger than |
41 |
700MB last night on line and couldn't even find them. No big deal for |
42 |
now. I'm done and the machine is built. From here out the CD hardly |
43 |
matters. (I hope!) |
