Folks: OK, with today's daily 10/3 powerpc I was able to get passed the Yaboot boot screen, in both my iMac 800 and my iBook, so that's the good news. In the iMac I just used the live video=ofonly??? the semi default boot parameter and eventually got to a black screen . . . I would need to be reminded on what the boot parameters for the iMac are . . . .
However, on the iBook, which I might actually try the install on, I used "live-nosplash-powerpc video=radeonfb: 1024x768-32@60" . . . . And that got me to a clean resolution GUI desktop!!! But, when I tried to set the time so that I could use Gmail to post this report . . . the screen "froze" on the drop down menu of time zones. I rebooted and tried again, this time I tried to just adjust the time without doing the timezone and . . . it didn't "synchronize" . . . . Then, just for humor I wanted to check the "window dragging" capacity, which is not good in 14.04 on this same computer . . . and, the cursor turned into the 'clenched hand" . . . the window moved a few spaces, then stopped . . . I released the mouse button . . . and the clenched fist stayed clenched . . . nothing else responded . . . system frozen . . . shut it down and rebooted back into OSX. So, it looks "closer" but, still no cigar in terms of stability such that QA testing could be done . . . couldn't take the time to try an install, etc. F On Thu, Oct 2, 2014 at 12:12 PM, Fritz Hudnut <este.el....@gmail.com> wrote: > @Walter: > > Alrighty, be a few days before I can download and burn the iso . . .
