New iBook

[Dylan Hand]

Hi,

I got my new iBook a few weeks ago and decided to install YDL on it. 
First, I think i should mention that the disk i am installing from has 
never had a successful install on any computer, so may be i should just 
make a new CD. Here we go:

I'm using YaBoot, and the iBook has a Radeon Mobility 7500 (AGP), i 
booted up from the CD and guess what, no video. So i rebooted and used 
the install-text-safe option. that worked. Throughout the install, 
there were a few errors (the timezone thing didn't work)  and the 
Xconfigurator recongized my card as a PCI card (maybe not a problem 
???). So it finished and i reboot. WTF!! It boots me into Open 
Firmware, ok...just type mac-boot and now we have the yaboot 
loader...boot into Linux and no video, so i run it as linux-novideo, 
and it works again but when i "startx", no video. So i reboot and make 
a fail-safe config of XFree86. It now starts X but it is all screwed up 
and stuff... Should I just try to reinstall?? any suggestions?
