When the installation process asks you to select an ethernet hardware, select "ibm_newemac". When the installation is done, if you use a DVI or HDMI (i.e. digital) output, you should comment out a line in the xorg configuration file, or the X server won't start. To do so, issue the command: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf comment out the line: Option "ConnectorTable" "64,2,1,2,60,1,1,1" Note: You must NOT comment out this line if you use a monitor through the DVI->VGA adapter (analog output)
