fdisk is not really able to read the partition table that the Macintosh installer writes. To figure out what you have you can e.g. use the Yast partitoning tool. mount -t ufs -o ufstype=openstep -o ro /dev/sda3 /media/misc
Using ssh in scripts (one-click secure VNC connection using krdc) I wanted to establish a VNC connection that is tunneled via ssh and just by one click. I created a shell script with the following content: !/bin/sh ssh -L 5902:192.168.0.7:5902 -f -N jeltsch@192.168.0.7 krdc localhost:2 The ssh connection remains open in the background until the krdc application has finished.
I am trying to get Ubuntu 5.04 or Debian 3.1 running on the original PB G3 (aka Kanga aka 3500). The only problem: the screen is blank after the inital reboot after the installation. Nothing at all (Ubuntu) or only an inverted penguin (Debian). The boot process continues only if one copies over the ramdisk image from the /boot folder onto the HFS partition and specifies it as boot argument. Might it be that the root=/dev/hda8 (in my case the root partition is hda8) is somehow not recognized?
