Awesome... after a bit of tweaking, I have MOL/Tiger running on Ubuntu
Breezy on  my Powerbook G4, compiled from the Ubuntu sources :)  (Although
I do have to load the mol kernel module myself with insmod rather than
modprobe, for some reason... haven't worked that one out yet.)

Anyone know the prospects of getting the OSX-side drivers to work with
Tiger anytime soon, so I can have networking again?  Since they're kernel
extensions I assume they need to change a bit for 10.4.  (They still
install just fine, but when I try to start MOL afterwards, I just get a
"bootloader: out of memory" error.)

Cheeri,
Calum.
