After a frustrating few days, I've successfully installed the Breezy RC on a Mac Mini. Here are some thoughts and questions: 1. The first reboot during the install failed consistently as yaboot would bail out complaining about errors in yaboot.conf. The /etc/yaboot.conf written by the installer (yabootconfig?) correctly included this device line: "device=/pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/disk@0:". The boot files are on /dev/hda5, and yaboot reported it couldn't find them. Manually changing the device line (by shelling out just before the reboot) to "device=hd:" worked. The Mini rebooted and the second phase of the install comleted successfully. 2. I've got a Firewire drive attached to the Mini. It is visible to the partitioner during the install, and the installer happily built filesystems on it. However, judging from the abundant error messages I saw during reboots, any filesystems on that drive are invisible after the install completes. For example, if I put a filesystem on /dev/sda3, fsck, running during the first reboot into a successfully installed sysem, says it can't find /dev/sda3. If the kernel, etc., used by the installer see the Firewire drive, why is it invisible after the install? I'd like to use the Firewire because it is faster than the drive inside the Mini. Should it "just work", or do I need to do some research? 3. Have the Microsoft "web" fonts -- Verdana and all that -- been pulled from the repositories? I added "universal" but didn't see them. 4. Subjective opinion: I've been away from Ubuntu and Linux for a few months; OS X is still ahead in terms of visible polish and style, and may well be ahead in terms of desktop speed and responsiveness. billg
