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 ~55GB for Mac HD OS X, did the OS X clean 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 to partition it. I ordered the CD set from [login to view URL] and have verified that the media .iso files are 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. This person should be not only an expert with Linux Fedora Core 4, but specifically had experience installing the Personal Desktop version on a Mac computer with PowerPC .iso's. I am in Portland, Oregon. I need it today or as soon as possible, and I will incur/absorb the long-distance charges if done by phone. /AB
