@cezaro, I am quite curious on how you solved the problem. Before I start reconfiguring my PowerBook G4 17" with 1.33 GHz I would really like to know every known issue.

Did I get it right? Fedora will re-partition my existing hard drive which is at present 100% OS X 10.4.3?
I need a maximum of 10 GB as there is an additional hard disk (USB 2).

fedora on powerbook
G´day mate!

Actually I did not get to install fedora on my powerbook, I faced an error message as I began the installation it was a video driver error... I searched many places seeking for a solution, unfortunally the issue wasn´t replyed with it´s address... I think there aren´t many people who install linux on a powerbook.. maybe in the future... who knows... If I discover any manner of doing so I´ll let you know... and in case you find a solution please contact me

sorry for not being usefull for your request

happy new year


Cezar
