 Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2002 1:11 pm Post subject: Gentoo on Powerbook G4 |
 |
|
Anyone? I've been looking thru the PPC installs on this machine, but haven't tried it yet. I was gonna pick up a new pc laptop, *but* I got extra space on my Tibook, so I might as well see if I can use that. I have successfully installed Suse on a PPC Mac before, but I'm not sure if anyone has successfully set up Gentoo on this specific Powerbook.
Please lemmie know. Thx! |

While I can't speak for older TiBooks, I have Gentoo running on a Rev III
800MHz, although the CPU runs at 667MHz under Linux. We are working
on improving this, and I think it's a kernel issue, not a distro issue.

the kernel has a patch so that you can map a keyboard key to be the second and third mouse buttons
the gentoo ppc install guide has instructions in the 'extras' section on how to do it. |
