ipod running panther....... wow... You know, most windows hardware is compatable with mac hardware, you can probably buy a cd rom drive for it and just replace it with that. It will probably work.

4.01 wouldn't download, all the links were dead. I already installed linux, I just can't get it to boot up.

Ok, so I have installed linux on my iBook, and if you read my other thread you know I switched to a spare 6gig hard drive since the last one fried. I dont have a copy of osX so I installed YellowDog Linux 3.01 straight up, nothing else on the HD. When I turn it on, I still get the icon...

Im not too happy because its not a 1.4ghz ibook either. I already tried to put in the new HD, the one i put in was bad too... Its a 933MHZ tho, but thats fine. I was just gonna use it as a linux prac/ a school laptop. I dunno, all I did to test the HD was hold down option on startup to see...

Well, apparently the Serial is scratched off too... wow, I think when I meet him again im gonna take my stuff back because talk about screwed. The model number ia A1055, and the copyright date is 2003, I don't even know if the 1.4ghz was made then. Wow, I am not very happy....

I do not have discs. He does not have discs. I am completely screwed on that part. Also, as the guy says, the warrenty is done. So I will have to replace it myself. I got a 6 gig Toshiba that will have to do until I buy a 40 giger. I am quite sure it is an IDE drive. Like I said, I...

Ok so scratch the post above. It is quite obvious that the HD is bad. Im pretty sure that it can't be recovered. I was wondering if I could take a Laptop PC HD and put it in the iBook and get it to work. So basically the question is, will a PC Laptop HD work in a iBook, or will I have to...

When the installer for Yellow Dog came up, it loaded a Blue screen, then a box popped up saying "no Hard Drives have been found. You probably need to manually choose device drivers for the installation to succeed. Would you like to select drivers now?" Of course I clicked yes. Then it said...

I have no clue what you are talking about, im new to linux(dad is a good linux user tho). I am currently downloading Yellow Dog, since a website I saw installed it on a iBook G4 and it worked good.

You can buy 10.4.2 on ebay. I trust people on ebay if I like their rating. I have bought a LCD for my HP Laptop and I got it as described, ive bought PSUs, video games, and such. So I think ebay is where I will get 10.4.2 if it isn't released in stores soon.

Hmm, well i'll have to out and grab 10.4.2 because when he bought it they didn't send him any disks. Yet then again, I don't know where HE got it from. I hear a mac can run Linux, so maybe I will try that until I get OS X.

Man, another thing you might have noticed is that no monitor out there can support Vista right now... In other words, they are expecting you to pay the money for a computer that is worth about $3k and a monitor worth the same...

Have you downloaded the patch? Well, I don't know if there is a patch for the Mac version, but the patch for the PC fixes numerous graphics problems.

I cant get it to come up. I hold the two buttons and hit the power button, it just comes to that one screen.

So how do I boot it into single user mode? Like I said, I cant get to the desktop, it just makes the boot sound and that screen comes up. Just press those keys when I hit the power button?
