Right now, i'd like to install a newer distro onto a G4 (667 mhz) mac. Before investing a ton of time to download new disks, I'd like to prove out that an install would actually work on the machine. THEN it will be worth it to do the download of whichever version is good for the machine. Here's the rub. I (also long ago) successfully installed both YDL and Kubuntu onto an imac with disks that will NOT work right in my recent attempts on the G4. One set is the permanent burned YDL 3 disks that worked on the iMac. The machine (my 'newer' G4 tower) has 3 smaller hard drives (20G, 30g, and 40G respectively). The 40G has been partitioned in half leaving me with 4 possible volumes to install an OS on. One partition (of the 40G) now has X.4 on it. while the other is going to be for one of the two Linux distros I want to run. The 30G is for the second Mac partition. That leaves a 20G partition for YDL and 20G HD for YDL. I tried to boot on those old YDL 3 disks that worked happily on an iMac a few years ago... and they would not start. The initial screen would show the text up to the first prompt. Then I typed in the 'install' text and went on... but then it goes into a frozen state of uselessness for several minutes till finally I force restart. When I inserted a (Kubuntu) CD to install, the CD hung at the same point and showed some numbers on screen as if it either couldn't find something or was a bad burn. After trying a couple different recordables, I tried having my son put the CD in his G4 (about 800? mhz) machine and it did a good live startup. So, question is, why will the CD's not start? Slot 1 GeForce2MX Slot 2 The PCI card is an ATY, GT-C XClaimVRPro The monitor is a 17" apple studio display monitor: Do I have a monitor or video card problem because of some compatibility issue, or is it something else?

It has been quite some time since I checked prices. The last time I did a bake off of the xlc vs gcc was 5-6 years ago on a Apple dual G4 box (bought ~2000, don't remember the exact version), and xlc stomped all over gcc in math ops. I believe it has closed the gap since then. If you need support for some of the Dec extensions to Fortran-77 your choices may be limited. I only found IBM's compiler and Absoft that would handle some of the code I was porting. -Rob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Warren Nagourney" To: "Discussion List for Yellow Dog Linux User Topics" Sent: Friday, March 6, 2009 2:58:04 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [ydl-gen] IBM XLC/C++ and XLF for YDL on Cell Kai, These are time-limited trial products.

I just want to highlight something. It was Apple which walked away from IBM's consortium regarding PowerPC development which led up to the Cell, not the other way around. Apple may yet crumble due to the fact it continues to be the least secure commercially available operating system in the market place - a fact consistently established for past several years, but that is a different problem for them and for anyone who doesn't care for their data while using OS X. Regarding the topic in this thread I found that the User License for IBM XLC is $1,500: http://www-01.ibm.com/software/awdtools/xlcpp/multicore/ Academia is not within my experience other than providing computing/IT server/database support within the college and large scale university environment. It is my guess that you could attempt to qualify for or otherwise attain, a Grant which could allow you to get this compiler or other products as you needed or wished to explore as an independent researcher. I imagine if you went this route, you could put together a rather nice system comprising of the PowerStation, and a GigaAccel 180 and do an amazing piece of research work. Hmmm you may have to come "out" of retirement though, I guess. You'll see your own best path of course. All the best...

My reason for retirement was a loss of grant money, despite doing some very successful research (which contributed in part to a Nobel Prize 20 years ago). I don't expect to be able to get grant money in this economic climate without a university affiliation. In any case, even though I find the PowerStation a very interesting platform, I am pretty committed to OS X. As I have said a number of times, the free apps for ppc linux just don't compare, in my opinion. I have my ps3 with linux and am able to do some Cell development (when I get the time) on it using the free compilers, which are not that much worse than the commercial ones.

That's what I did for zydas1211rw which is also an Atheros wifi device. Check for Linux modules for your specific device and see what you need to do. Jeff Yowell wote "I successfully installed YDL 6.1, after hearing that the Atheros drivers were included. But scanning the wireless setup, I don't see the drivers. Can anyone help?"

Usually all you need to do is have the printer physically connected while YDL is running and it should print from within nearly any application. Although you should not have to download and install the entire cups package, you may have to go to the site to discover whether the particular driver you are looking for exists. If you are puzzled by what is there I'd recommend asking questions at the Users Forum at that site as they focus on questions pertaining to CUPS more deeply; you may find you don't need such detailed assistance, but just in case.
