I have created a 30Mb HFS partition to be used as boot partition, but the SuSE installer didn't right any files there. How can I install the fake System Folder on that partition? I will have a look at your website.

Is there a way to boot from the CD and do the required changes on LILO and yaboot? How do I get the boot file into the boot partition?

I've installed SuSE Linux 7.1 on my Firewire PowerBook G3 and it run fine right after the installation. However, the next time I restarted the computer, it booted straight into MacOS X, without me pressing any key on the keyboard. How can I boot into Linux now? And how can I fix yaboot/LILO so that I can choose between systems on boot time? Thanks Pedro

Any news about support for the new G4 or is Apple feeling linux is a danger for MacOS X (which could be a source of inspiration to linux developpers by the way)?

Hello, I've been dealing with two problems yesterday when i tried to configure a dual boot on my new iMac. - I've tried to configure Yaboot and os-chooser for dual boot. But when launched the apple scripts of the suseboot folder, applescript returned the following mesage [... can't read "event earsffdr"]. - When i tried to reboot on the hfs /boot partition, i had a blank screen (fortunately it is not a blue one) whith the following message from OpenFirmware (i guess) : [ DEFAULT CATCH!, code=fffffff6 at %SRR0:ff80 amethod; ihandle=ffbc38c0 phandle=0_ ]. Can anyone help me ? Thanks, Eric
