devices now working, have new X, which is more interesting...
Well, thanks to Ethan's advice, I was able to reboot using the
CD and yaboot from the MacOS partition (that's not too risky, is
it?), copy the device files from /dev to the mounted root file
system, and from there I was able to run MAKEDEV once I was
sort-of up and running (which should regularize /dev, right?)
A couple problems I'm having:
* I don't currently have a /dev/xconsole.
* http://ppclinux.apple.com/~benh still doesn't work.
* Using Hadess' XF86Config, X still doesn't work. Although this
crash is much more interesting. The screen blanks, and there's a
horizontal line, and it gradually changes brightness.
control-alt-delete doesn't seem to abort X when that happens.
I'm about to try it again after removing enlightenment.
It still happened.
* Hadess has the mouse going to /dev/usbmouse. Should this be a
symlink to /dev/input/mice?
* I made audio, but I don't know if sound works yet. wavp doesn't
seem to be working.
* How much would I benefit from trying to compile my own kernel, as
opposed to continuing to use 2.2.18pre17-benh?
I think I'm going to wrap it up, and go home now. Is it possible I'm
missing something in /dev that could be causing the X crashes?
Thanks a lot for the help y'all have already given; I don't think I'd
have gotten to the point of having it lock up if y'all hadn't.
(Hey, it's at least progress :-)
