Actually I found a how-to on that in the meantime. Also found out how to 
make all files and directories visible in OSX. My only need for the mac is 
Photoshop+scanning+printing and my upgrade to OSX is only for better memory 
management so that I can do all 3 of the above at the same time. The price, 
improved patience;-).

YellowDog 3 supposedly is out and I heard a mention about the iBook.
I use Debian on my cube and it's perfect. Try the vesa driver. Check out a 
utility read-edid for getting the correct card/monitor settings. With X one 
never knows.
