well, i have had my mac for awhile now, and have been satisfied with it. but now i want more. i want linux on it. i just did a fresh install of osx 10.4 after repartitioning the harddrive and leaving the first partition open (as is recommended by terrasoft for ydl). i went to install YellowDog Linux 5 and I was able to boot into it. but the graphics were horrible. the text was cluttered, and when i went to do the actual install, it went to a video range outside of what my monitor will handle.
i tried ydl 4. same thing. i tried gentoo. same thing.
so what should i do?
here are the specs:
g3 b&w 300mhz
512mb ram
8mb ati vid card w/ adapter to standard 15pin pc monitor.
20gb drive split in two.
using a macally usb keyboard, a generic 2 button pc mouse (usb) that i got from radioshack.
also, the ydl 4 was cd, the ydl 5 was dvd, and gentoo was cd
