I gonna try to summarise the state of my installation of linuxSuSE on my iMac rev B. - Keyboard problem... I started up linuxSuSE cd1 and used the graphical yast2 installer. First it asked me to choose my language, then my keyboard and my timezone. Whatever the keyboard configuration i choose, i could not have anything else than the QWERTY configuration. Under X window i had no real keymap, it was just enough to swap to the console mode and to try to fix it. I used the french iMac keymap available at : http://www.chez.com/bentoi/linuxppc/fr-imac.tar.gz and i modified my XF86Config file, adding XkbDisable and XkbKeymap "usb-fr-macintosh" in the Keyboard section. This work fine ! ... but the XF86Config file is scratched at each linux boot... - Partition problem... I formatted my disk using the MacOS tool, I made 4 partitions : 1/ main hfs+ for programs and system 2/ documents hfs for... you know what... 3/ swap hfs 4/ root hfs I asked Yast2 to mount my partitions 1/ and 2/, and to transform my partitions 3/ and 4/ into linux ones. Current linux kernels dont ship any hfs+ file system driver. SuSE may not ask the user to mount such a partition for the moment. Now each time i boot on MacOS, it ask me if i want to initialize the partitions 3/ and 4/... MacOS shouldn't want to mount these partitions, and it didn't when i installed linuxppc and i used pdisk. I dont know how to fix it. Steph'
