Thanks for your input Ian.
I'm now booting the latest kernel source with no problems. I'll I need to
do now is fine tune things and get X working nicely. I'm a bit embarrassed
to say this but the problems I was having installing on the iBook wee due
to me forgetting to type "install" at the yaboot prompt.... ugh. Any how.
Thanks again.
Andrew
