You are done. If everything worked, you should now be able to reboot you're system, and start linuxppc-1999 for the first time. Remember to remove any floppy disks from the floppy drive. If it won't boot, try to hit F5 at the splash screen while the system check icons pop up in the bottom of the screen. At the boot prompt, ("Linux/PPC load:") you must add a boot parameter to make the system find your root partition. (That's usually the main system partition.) I add this:
root=/dev/sda5
as this is where I installed my system. You might have
something different, and you should have written it down when
you partitioned you harddisk(s).
The system should boot up, and after a minute or so, greet you with a login prompt. Congratulations, you have installed linuxppc-1999 on your computer! From here, you have to know how to use linux. This is absolutely outside the scope of this document, but if you are a complete newbie, you could for example check out Linux Administration Made Easy by Steve Frampton, and start at chapter 6, since you've already got your system up.
After you have played a bit with your system, you should do some cleanup that the installation program has not done quite allright. First, the /dev/cdrom link is not working properly, it points to itself. It should point to /dev/scd0, so let's fix this. Log in as root, and issue these commands:
rm -f /dev/cdrom
ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
You should now be able to mount the cdrom using /dev/cdrom.
Thanks to Thomas M. Nymand for this tip.
If your system has been up for some minutes, you may have noticed a lot of strange errors complaining that "gdm is allready running". This is a X related problem, so check out chapter 8 to fix this.
