Thank you! I am new to Suse, and to installing on a mac but I am familure with Linux, I use Mandriva or Fedora on all my PC's but I dont want to take chances with my mac. I was even thinking of simply unplugging the hard drive and just installing Suse on the second hard drive alone just to get a feel for it. Any little tips and tricks you can give would be appreciated. Thanks again..

Amy,

I think I can help you but could you tell me exactly which G5 you have? Then I will post my response to you and the group so that others will (hopefully) benefit from it as well.

Hello All, I appreciate the time you take to give me any tips or tricks on installing Suse 10.1 on a G5. I have never installed on a ppc before and I plan on using a separate drive keeping my existing mac os(tiger) as it is. I plan on going with lilo as the boot loader since I am more familiar with it.

I am just looking for any 'heads up' you can give me. I have installed 10.1 on a pc with no problems at all, they were all great installs but I seem to value my mac much more than any windows pc(sorry, just being honest) I was hoping you could tell me if suse 10.1 installs as easy on the mac.

Once again, thank you for your time.

Amy A.
