Hi,
I got my iMac at the start of the year (I think, can't remember). Just got Suse 7.1 for PPC. Anything special I need to know? The manual suggests that my hardware may not be compatible due to new firmware??
Any pointers appreciated.

if your iMac is the one before the 'flower power' series, then it is the same as mine and 7.1 runs well on it. Everyting should install ok and then you should run sax2 to switch to X 4.0.2. I have the latest firmware and it is not a problem. In fact, the creator of ybin, suggested i upgrade to get the new passwordable open firmware. (this is really only relevant if you decide to go with ybin/yaboot for booting and not the SUSE default). joss -- http://www.josswinn.org
