Sorry ! Forgot to log in...So my question is "What's the difference between Hoary & Breezy". Is it a better release ? Today I use a Breezy version with Gnome/KDE and Enlightenment. It works fine... |

Breezy is the current stable, while Hoary was the previous stable. Well Hoary is still stable, but Breezy is more up to date. If you don't have any good reason you should be using Breezy. You can read more at this page for example. |

Ubuntu 5.10 (breezy) can be installed and booted with yaboot. The catch is that yaboot, yaboot.conf,vmlinux and initrd must be in a ext2/3 file system. It seems that OF/yaboot has a problem with the iso9660fs. To boot an install of Ubuntu, copy the /install directory on the CD to a ext2/3 partition on your harddrive. ie.. Code: mkdir /install
Then edit /install/yaboot.conf and change the line device=cd: to devive=hd:x.cp -r /media/cdrom/install/* /install sub x in hd:x for the partition number that you copyed /install to (hda3 = hd:2 hdb3 = hd1:2...) Now reboot in to OF and type: Code: boot hd:x /install/yaboot conf=hd:x,/install/yaboot.conf
when yaboot shows the boot: prompt hit 'Enter' keyThe installer will start as it would on a mac. At the end of the install when the message about changing the OF boot env's is dsplayed, goto the second terminal (alt+F2) hit enter to login and copy yaboot from cd to target Code: mkdir /target/boot/yaboot
Then make a yaboot.conf like so
cp /cdrom/install/yaboot /target/boot/yaboot Code: vi /target/boot/yaboot/yaboot.conf
Here is my yaboot.conf
Code: # yaboot.conf
to boot type in OFboot=/dev/hda init-message=Welcome to Ubuntu 5.10!\nHit <TAB> for boot options partition=7 timeout=80 install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot delay=5 enablecdboot enableofboot enablenetboot nonvram mntpoint=/boot/yaboot usemount image=/boot/vmlinux-2.6.12-9-powerpc label=linux read-only initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-9-powerpc root=/dev/hda8 append="quiet --" Code: boot hd:x /boot/yaboot/yaboot conf=hd:x,/boot/yaboot/yaboot.conf

You must use the yaboot command from an Fedora install/cd (FC4/5) When I was experimenting yaboot booting I used the one from FC4 I assumed that becuse both yaboot's had the same version number that they were the same, stupid! (assume=make ass of u and me) nels |
