It's quite good. thanks very much... but its really just the PPC port stuff in particular i am having hassles with. i am very accustomed to debian, and GNU/Linux in general (i used LFS for about 2 years before i made the switch). installing on my iBook has just been a nightmare... on i386 i'm used to everything "just working", but on PPC... nothing seems to work and my graphics card (standard iBook radeon) seems not to be supported and there aren't even any vesa drivers to use in X as a failsafe. cheers, Sam -- Free High School Science Texts http://www.nongnu.org/fhsst/ Sam's Homepages http://fommil.homeunix.org/~samuel/ http://www.ma.hw.ac.uk/~samuel/
