Hi Gerald, > > Now my G3 is compiling Xorg from the ports, ethernet is working > fine. :-) > > :) Happy FreeBSDing on your PPC! The G3 was now compiling 7 hours on Xorg. It was somewhere at the adobe fonts, when my son had to go to bed, I had to interrupt the make, shutdown the Mac and move it to another room. There I booted again, but always in the middle of booting it crashed and did a reboot. :-( Maybe the 7.2 beta is not very stable. Now I give it a second try by installing 7.1. I have to begin at zero, because the installation formats my partitions and installs all from scratch. Now I have to compile Xorg again, binary packages are not available for ppc. :-( That's no fun! :-( I will try the compile over night, but I think it will interrupt somewhere asking me for options. If 7.1 has the same boot problems tomorrow, I will try install Fedora or Gentoo next. I'm really a friend of FreeBSD, but if the port to ppc is such instable I must look for alternatives.
