Everything doesn't build. The only version or project similar for powerpc i= s tenfourfox and I am having trouble enough building it on Linux. LLVM-GCC4= isn't curently building. Kazehakase won't build. Some boards have trouble = with AGP while others don't. OpenBoot can change default cards while no one= knows how to do the same with Open Firmware. LXDE and Xfce4 both build wit= h the former causing the pointer to go to the upper left corner and the lat= ter having all applications open in the upper left corner. I have no idea i= f a /boot/loader.conf file can even be used on FreeBSD-PPC. I don't have a degree in computer science nor do I have any certification.= =20 I do have a PowerMac G3 Blue and White. I do have=A0 PowerMac G4 Quicksilve= r. I do use both of these daily. I will soon install FreeBSD on the iMac G4= and use it daily.=20 I am not a programmer. I can tell the difference between lagging and optimal performance. I am not always the most sociable, stable, or friendly person. My tutorials are written so that a person with a GED can read and use them. (If you wonder, I have an associates in business, certfied as a chef, licen= sed for selling options, certified for sanitation, hotel management certifi= cation, and a bunch of other stuff. IE I am not stupid.) With all of my complaining,=A0 narcissism, and self-pity aside... is it even worth for a normal/layman to attempt anything? =0A=0A=0A
