I read the page indeed.
I've one major and one minor problem with it.
I've a G4 (Woody3.0) with a 56k dialup as only working box.
On the ibook2 (?) I was able to install a kernel 2.2.20 and
basedebs.tgz. This mini-system is rebootable.
The minor problem with it is that I couldn't find that
mac-usb-us-keycodes on the images-1.44/* files - so I've no at, pipe
...
As I mentioned, I'm not able to get even a ping contact from my ibook
to my G4 to finish the installation. As I'm not able to get a
bidirectional ethernet connection, I couln't reach any sites. The ping
from G4 to the ibook works well.
I cannot work out if I have some sort of configuration error or there
is a problem with that kernel 2.2.20-pmac. Therefore I wanted to try
the 2.4.18-ben0. Installation from kernel-package works well but at
boottime it hangs repeatedley with differing config-2.4.18-ben0's
(don't know why :-( ).

I assume it must be the same, but even my Apple-retailer don't know
what an ibook2 should be.
