Re: Fedora/Ubuntu on G5 iMac

[Kyle Pointer <kapointer@charter.net>]

Oh, I assure you, I -love-  OS X. It's just far to sexy to not use,  
but when I installed I went off and made a 40G Linux partition and I  
would hate to waste it.

I got past that first error ( I was trying to use the wrong kernel  
image, I had forgotten that G5 is a 64 bit processor ), but now it  
gives some image about bbtext or something like that, and says Setup  
Arch and stops. :-\ (I'd have pictures of my stupid rechargeable  
batteries are refusing to charge.. ironic?)
I'd love to use Mac OS X for everything, and I am not morally opposed  
to it, but I want to run all those fun Linux/X11 apps that I enjoyed  
so much. I've used Fink and Darwinports, but they use a lot of rather  
old packages. :-(
I tried to compile GNOME with DarwinPorts ( not to use it over Aqua,  
but pretty much because I had nothing better to do ) and it didn't  
work very well.. or really at all.
I guess it's not a big deal, but it would  be nice to get Linux on it.

Anyways, I'd at least like a decent LiveCD to boot. :-\
