But FC5 Test 3 isn't that bad -- it's just that I only have access to various old G3 1999 iMacs to try it out on. =( My best system is a iMac Blueberry which FC thinks is a Firewire MoBo. G3 350MHz, 320MB RAM. Maybe they are on the edge of being too old; most likely. > I'm OK with you giving up on Test3, but would you please please try the > latest rawhide and let us know how that goes? I can drag my iMac to work (I don't use the Internet at home) then I can install FC5Test2 and *upgrade* via the mirror to most (not all) FC5Test3 *software* but - * I cannot use any kernel since 1826 (all of them mark the root ext3 as R/O.) * The FC5T3 PPC CD installer set (5 disks), for the most part, will not install -- I am repeatedly bombarded with various anaconda errors -- many of which are traced back to the installer trying to access beyond the end of the physical size of the disk -- no matter what size disk I use (the biggest has been a 160GB Barracuda.) * The bootloader/installer still does NOT create a valid Apple label. If I delete all the partitions and mark the disk as a PC MSDOS label the installer is not able to switch it back to a standard Apple Label. So anyways I have a few iMacs that no longer run applications that I desire -- most of which are Linux apps; so you see the need to get FC running. I guess I will have to commit to i386 -- hell Apple has already... I'm just frustrated -- but I won't give up... -- WC (Bill) Jones -- http://youve-reached-the.endoftheinternet.org/ -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
