will Enemy Territory run on yellow dog 4.0?

possibly, according to this

"The two most annoying things, however, were no hardware 3D acceleration, and no wireless. The Broadcom chipset in Apple's Airport Extreme is undocumented, so Linux drivers can't be easily written. Because of this, I'm considering buying an inexpensive PCMCIA Orinoco Silver card. As for hardware 3D acceleration, it is possible to get hardware OpenGL rendering working if you have an ATI GPU, but as far as I can tell so far, it requires a kernel recompile, which I just haven't had time to do. Like the Broadcom chipset, Nvidia doesn't have open-source drivers."

but then it would be running under linux, not really mac, but good luck, post if it works

Arg. No it won't work. As explained previously in this thread, itt can't possibly work because the mac has a PowerPC CPU, and all existing ET binaries (windows and linux) are for x86 CPUs. Two completely different processors. There is NO FUCKING WAY you can run software for one on the other, without ungodly slow software emulation.

The *only* way to get ET to run, in any useful sense of the word, on mac hardware, is to have the engine source and port it.

i laught at u If im correct then this is what you say does not exist http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/ ... 6.rpm.html

look at enemy-territory-1.02-3plf.ppc.rpm .

Your right but when u install LINUX on ur mac, not emulated you can run this game.

Only problem for me is that madrake install does not boot on my ibook.

You have choosen search rpm in world FTP resources.
Not enought search parameters. I'm using defaults.
FILE WASN'T FOUND ON FTP SERVERS. TRYING TO SEARCH THIS FILE IN RPM FILES CONTENT.
Not enought search parameters. I'm using defaults.

Your search enemy-territory-1.02-3plf.ppc.rpm did not match any entry in database.
If you didn't do it, try add to searched space more distributions and repositories.

Doesn't that give you a small clue?
