I'm pleased to report a considerable degree of success with 11.1 RC1 on a 1999 Mac Powerbook G3 (Lombard), also on an iMac of the same era (which behaves very similarly). Installer ran smoothly and quickly, apart from: 1. suggesting formatting of the small hfs (boot?) partition, which will fail with error -3023 setting partition label. Bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447782, but work-around is not to agree to formatting, it seems to work OK thus far... 2. Boot loader ignores other bootable systems on HD. This is bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=396361 - reported in June 2008 against 11.0 RC1 and present in all subsequent builds. Again, an easy work-around. Post - installation, a few more problems: 3. Sound works, but volume controls / mixers / mute don't https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450970 4. Openoffice isn't available to install (don't know the bug ID but it's well reported). Not looking *too* bad for GM whenever that will be - still on 16th maybe...? -- Cheers Richard (MQ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org
