Learn a little more about how Linux works<br>2. Put a linux system on a G-4 ibook. (an Apple Product)<br><br>I came across the version SVN-20100828-PowerPC, and it seemed to be a good<br>project to accomplish my above goals.<br><br>I have a compilation problem in chapter 6.9, where the library for the binary file descriptor<br>yelled "ouch" at not finding little endian. I went through some of the archives, and the solved<br>problems did not closely match the one I have. I could have missed it, so I would appreciate<br>it if someone could point me to the proper FAQ. Thank you.<br><br>The following information is to comply with the things to mention from the book:<br><br>My
/mnt/clfs partition is a USB Flashdrive attached to a 32 bit Pentium4 Desktop Machine<br>that is using OpenSUSE 11.3 with kernel 2.6.34.7-0.4-default i686. For what it's worth,<br>it is more KDE than Gnome.<br><br>I tried to not deviate from the book.
