[geeks] Woohoo! Success finally!

[Ido Dubrawsky]

I finally managed to get MacOS X 10.2 installed on my little PowerMac
project.  It's pretty nice (although I really want to get an LCD monitor
for it since the ViewSonic I have doesn't quite get the colors right and
I'd like a 19" LCD since I've gotten spoiled on it on my PeeCee).  It's
pretty good performance for a G4 450 with a 4.5GB drive (ultra-wide). 
Interestingly though, I've got two interfaces on it:

en0 -- built-in 10MB ethernet
en1 -- PCI slot 1 10/100MB card

and it keeps defaulting to the built-in ethernet port for the default
route (even though it's not connected and the link is not up).  I'll
probably end up using it anyway since I need to free up a PCI slot for a
USB card to put a USB keyboard and mouse on the box and move away from
ADB.  That way I can get a USB KVM and connect my PeeCee to it as well
as the PowerMac and just switch between the two.

I was going to put 10.3 on it but I've discovered that I cannot find my
10.3 Install CD #1 anymore.  That sucks.  Oh well, 10.2 will have to do
for now.
