I am trying to get Xubuntu 6 installed on my old Powerbook. The problem seems to be the video mode. The installer starts but the screen output is addressed only to the upper half of the monitor and is additionally garbeled although one can still guess what's going on. According to a list on the internet the kernel parameters one should pass using BootX it should read:

We were migrating our server to the newest SuSE release. Based on previous bad experience we didn't want to upgrade the system, but instead install a completely new system and then migrate our data there. Here's the list of what we had to do to the default SuSE installation to migrate all our services and data:

1. Backup the albums, the working gallery code and dump the databases
2. Put all the Gallery sites into the maintanance mode
3. Get the newest full version of Gallery
4. Unzip the file over the existing version of the Gallery
5. Navigate as an admin to the main page
6. Run the updater
7. Run the cleanup script if necessary
8. Check whether everything works fine
9. Change the sites mode to active
