Don't worry too much, and have a little more patients. It's probably
the same thing that's been my problem for the last three years. I run
Linux on my iBook. When I started using Linux I don't think there were
very many people running linux ppc.* Since less people had my type of
machine, not as many people could answer my ppc specific questions. I
hung in there and distro hopped quite a bit, and now days ppc linux
isn't quite as much of a second class citizen. :-)
When support is free and user contributed, those with the least common
machines end up with the least support....If I had an x86, I'd try to
help you.
*It might also just be that I didn't know where to look, but I think
you're probably in one of the right places.
