Hi. My name is Michael, I'm a newbe at Linux on PPC (Got various distro's up and running on X86)..... Since I am first and foremost a Mac OS X user, i am spoiled with the ease of idiot proof installations.. Please forgive me if i ask 'Newbie" style questions. i have a spare Blue & white power Macintosh G3 (400mhz) i got off of ebay for $ 50.00 just to play around with. I was really happy with the announcement thaT SUSE BETA 10 was released for PPC, so I thought I would give it a try. I got the 1st CD to boot, and the GUI installer to run.... It runs well until it gets to reformatting & Resizing partitions. i am giving Suse a whole 160 Gig hard drive to play with.. (sdb) ... Well it will choke on formating & resizing... then proceed to begin install and locks up 1/4 through .. I am sure the lock up is from the unsuccessful fromat/partition. Can some one help me with a clue here ? I have been successful in getting Debian and Mandrake to format/ partition, so it seems to lie within SuSE. thanks, Michael...
