Hello guy
First, excuse me if my english is bad.

I was a linux user (I tested some distributions including suse wich was one of my best linux-experience, YAST was a great tool), but when I went to College 3 years ago, I bought an ibook laptop with a little hard disk (30GB) so I have not install linux on this.

Now, I've put a 160 2,5" HDD inside my ibook and I plan to install suse on it, but before I've got some questions:

My ibook:

Power PC G4 1,2GHZ
768Mb Sd-ram
Radeon 9200 32Mo
Airport extrem card and bluetooth card
combo CD burner / DVD player
160GB Hdd divid in in:
-an about 120 GiB partition with mac osx 105 (léopard)
- about 35GB of free space, on wich I plan to install suse

-On ppc, there is 2 install disc: direct DVD or CD-network install. Can I use my airport extrem card to install suse with the network CD?

-will my hardware be fully detect with suse (including Airport extrem card that I use a lot)?

-there is anyway to use my 3d graphic card? (it's not a powerfull card but I think that it's enough to use Compiz fusion) (with an open 3D driver or something like that if it exist).

-I've heard that with mac-on-linux (MOL) software, i could use some osx software under linux. Is this soft working good (at least like wine on X86 computers)?. For example could mol run software like MSOFFICE 2004 at good speed?

-With leopard I'm not able to run classic anymore (to use OS9 softwares) so, is MOL able to run classic?

-will lilo or grub automatically detect my leopard partition on my HDD?

-Last thing: about Gnash: is it able to display website like dailymotion, youtube, deezer, or is flash7 only support can't do this.

Thanks for your answers, and I hope that I will install suse on my Ibook quickly
