Creating it isn&#8217;t a problem, but it isn&#8217;t graphical. This was supposed to be fixed, but now, I&#8217;ll get a screenshot soon and see what can be done about it.<\/li>\n<li>Getting screenshots are a chore &#8211; Shift+PrintScreen will not work on the iBook. It lacks a PrintScreen key!<\/li>\n<li>No mkofboot magic at the end. \/etc\/yaboot.conf exists, but without the mkofboot magic, it can&#8217;t boot Fedora. Once started, notice no rhgb present.<\/li>\n<li>If everything install is performed, Starting the IIIMF input server will result in it just hanging there. <\/li>\n<li>firstboot starts, with fbdev, maximum resolution is only 800&#215;600.<\/li>\n<li>X does not get configured on the iBook G4 yet. ddcprobe however, is fixed and works a charm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Everything else just works, as expected.
