Mandrake 9.1 on Powerbook G3 233


I have a Powerbook G3 233 with 192MB RAM and a 40GB hard drive. I have been trying to install Mandrake 9.1 on this machine, but so far without success. Just after selecting the language module the installation stalls. Has anyone here had experience installing Mandrake on G3 Powerbooks?

Does Mandrake 9.1 have the option to install without the GUI? You might try downloading Mandriva 2005 LE.

What might work if you aren't tied to Mandriva is the Ubuntu or the Debian Power PC releases. I've got Hoary Hedgehog running on a Bondi Blue G3 with a 30 gig hard drive and everything seems to be working fine.

I'm a newbie to linux on the power architecture. So long as you don't hate Ubuntu, I think that it might be a really good bet for you.

Cheers!
