MOL - Mac on LInux

[Eric D]

Re: 3.0.1 had problems with MOL

Can you (or anyone) elaborate on said problems

I've discovered a thread on the maconlinux mailing list where someone 
supposedly got MOL running on his box. I'm working my way through his 
trouble-shooting process without the same success :( (one of my problems is 
that I don't have rpmbuild... how does one get this?).

Eric.

PS Would Debian cause me fewer headaches overall? (running MOL isn't a major 
issue for me) & I'm going to avoid YDL 4.0 until it hits at least 4.0.1!
