Linux on a B&W does not seem to like the three finger salute, the reset
button, or any method of emergency shutdown other than the power button on
the middle of the front of the box.
As for getting X running properly, I cannot help you there. My system
involved a lot of trial and error, and I don't think I could ever repeat
the sequence.

Subject: Problems Installing 1.2 on B & W G3
Installation goes ok (albeit w/ some script errors in installing various
packages), but when I start X the system hangs, and then when I restart
using the three finger salute, the file system has not unmounted properly,
and the fs check fails, and i cannot boot properly anymore. Why is the
setup so fragile? Im trying to run MacOS and YDL off the same disk,
having 3 and 5.5 gigs partitiones respectively.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
