I am (still) trying to install Fedora Core 4 on my Mac G4 PowerBook, PowerPC chip, 1 GHz RAM, 80G HD, dual-partitioned with Mac OS X. I wiped the drive, created a partition of 40G for Mac HD OS X, did the OS X install, formatted the remaining space on the drive as 'free space' on the understanding that the auto-partitioner in FC4 would find it and use it. I ordered the CD set from linuxcentral and have verified that the media is good. I boot from CD 1 and have tried the following: 1. Just hitting return to start a GUI install 2. linux text (to start a text install) 3. linux nofb (to start a GUI install without a frame-buffer in case it was not recognizing video) 4. linux resolution=1440 x 900 (in case it was having a problem recognizing the monitor) What happens with all of these attempts is the install starts from CD 1 and I note two things as the text scrolls by: A) It's seeing my USB mouse as a PS-2 mouse, which is not correct. B) It's telling me that the monitor is not recognizable/recognized. If anyone has any ideas, I'm wide open to suggestions on or off-list (boettiger@xxxxxxxxx). As a last resort I'll probably end up paying someone for some phone time, but would rather avoid it if possible. Thanks for any ideas! /AB
