So far no big issue. BUT 2 things are bothering me: - i am installing off dvd, and it still want's to download stuff during the installation - and the big thing is: IT WONT INSTALL A GUI !!!! Even though I follow your guidlines, and have a few gigs worth of packages on dvd's, it always installs 50 megs worth of basic packeages, then reboots into text mode... as all of you, I'm a complete noob to this, and I wouldn't mind gnome to help me get going even though in the future, who knows I might be able to get by with text only... I searched the forum for powerpc, and it showed no results, but I hope someone out there has an idea and is willing to share it with me. Thanks so much (if this is not an appropriate place to post, please move me) Donuts |
