Hello to all the comunity. I'm Spanish, please forgive some mispelled word or some sentence without sense. I will do my best effort. No problem. Thanks :)

I have and old G5, Inside there is a penguin eating apples ;)

I use debian in this G5, but on i386 I use opensuse since many years ago. Maybe since 9.x branch... I can't remenber. Recenly I discover that opensuse 12.2 has ISO for PPC. I suscribe to the list and read some messages to understand what is happening. So I decide to write to the list because I discover that I nedd an installation server in order to install PPC version on mac G5. Is this correct? Any advice on how to start? You just need to burn net install ISO, plug it to your machine and install it over the network.

You need to specify: Server IP: download.opensuse.org Path: /ports/ppc/distribution/12.2/repo/oss

This is like i386 net install, :)

There are some issues, that might happen during installation: first most important one: ext4 or LVM on / will produce broken bootloader config (it is on my list to fix that) As Andreas reported yesterday, there are some dependencies issue, while you installing screen package during installation. To workaround that, choose minimal pattern and install missing packages on running system.

Ok, I will try the only text install. Maybe I will write again the next month. I'm busy at the moment and I need to clone the repo. I don't have enough Inet at home.

Hope that helps

A lot

Have fun, Dinar Thanks again :D -- "El cielo es para los dragones lo que el agua es para las ninfas" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org
