Hello,
Installed Linux on my PowerBook G4 (400Mhz) machine, everything is
installed molvconfig worked and picked a bunch of the working modes.
Edited the /etc/mol/molrc.osx file and added the directory. All tests
succeed. Problem is when OS X gets to loading it is in probably 8 bit
color. I can't figure out why. 

How do I get it the right colors?
