Glad to hear it. I just haven't had time to do any real testing on my
machines. I plan to get RC1 on my B&W G3 with a G3/400 and a G4/400
sometime this week.

IIRC, 11.0 does the same thing. I just did a re-install on my
Wallstreet and used a 100MB HFS directory as /boot. YaST gave me an
error message, but it worked ok and I had the kernels available to me
on OS 9, which is something I have struggled with on Old World Macs.
I'm working on a writeup for Old World Machines, and I think this will
work well on these machines that can't directly boot Linux. If I run
into a problem with it on RC1, I will post a bug about it. Not the
same thing, but a similar type issue.

Couldn't tell you there cause I don't install it. I do know that
Peter has a thread open about it.

18th actually. The 16th is my son's B-Day.
