Hi, I am new to the mac world,but i have just joined a company that is using
imac's and I was not impressed because we are in a telecoms development
department and needed a true multi tasking env. i finally convinced them to
try linux on mac and we are using suse7 and all the developers love it!!!!

I am trying to run mol to show the how good the linux system is but i am
having a lot of trouble to get it starting up.

env.
iMac dv running 9.0.4

new world rom 4.6.1
mol 0.9.53-2
kernel 2.2.16
suse7
kde2

startmol and a new term called (mac-on-linux (slow video) starts and a grey
background is shown and it just sits there doing nothing and consuming
resources (just like the in-laws)

please help i am attaching the logs from the original term

if you need any more info just let me know???

love the work that you guys are doing!!!!
