I've put up a page detailing my Gentoo/Mac OS X install on a new ibook at http://www.desertsol.com/~kevin/ppc

have a look.

looks cool, but that background on the site has to go, can barely read the text here in mozilla :/

Thanks. There's a lot less reference stuff out there for ppc installs, so I thought I'd start trying to add some.

I'm glad it's helpful!

Also, I've updated it a bit. I got gdkxft installed so mozilla looks awesome, and I can play DVDs in linux using vlc, albeit a bit jerky.

Soon I hope to try out the latest benh kernel, I've heard it gives better DVD playback performance.
