mol installation problems

[Morgan Meader]

Hi Folks,

I'm new to this list and Linux and new to all things Apple now that I 
think about it but I'm getting off track. I've been reading the 
maconlinux.org archives and looking at the faq's and HOWTO's and I 
still haven't found an answer to my problem so I'll pose it here.

I have a 15" Titanium Powerbook G4 (2002) with 1GB of RAM.  I've got 
the partitions setup with 10GB for YDL and the rest(~45GB) for Mac OSX. 
I have Panther 10.3.2 installed on a non-journaled HFS partition. I 
downloaded the latest ISO's of YDL for the install; which went 
beautifully I'd like to add.

I had some problems getting startmol -X to run after I finished 
installing everything so I got in touch with terrasoft.  I got this 
procedure from someone there:

## start
It sounds like Mac-on-Linux needs some help. First, try this:

startmol -a -X

If that doesn't work, go here:

http://maconlinux.org

and click on the "Download" link.

Then click and download:

mol-kmods-0.9.68-1.src.rpm

Then type (as root):

rpm -Uvh mol-kmods-0.9.68-1.src.rpm

Next type:

cd /usr/src/rpm/SPECS/

This is taking you to the directory called SPECS.

Next you'll type:

rpmbuild -qa mol-kmods-0.9.68-1.spec

After a long while it will build this mol-kmods package into something 
you can actually install. When it is done type:

cd /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/ppc/

Then type:

rpm -Uvh mol-kmods-0.9.68-1.rpm
## end


Here is the final message of the 'rpm' commands followed by the output 
of 'startmol' and other things  in a different shell.


[root@tibook ppc]# rpm -Uvh mol-kmods-0.9.68-1.ppc.rpm

again>

If anyone can help me decipher this problem I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you,
