Trip Tips - Sharing Internet from iBook G4 (Mac OS X) via Airport (wifi) to iPhone 3G

這編文章從後另一個網誌搬來，以配合主題；其實，同樣設定用於MacBook Pro都是一樣的，整體設定都非常簡便。另，已經試過把互聯網無線分享至微軟視窗和諾基亞手機，非常方便！

暫時不翻譯成中文了，簡單就是"系統偏好" > "共享" > "互聯網共享"，安全起見，應該開始WEP密碼；其實下面看圖識字，不說太多了。

Maybe, it has been known by many user, but this is my first time to successfully use such function in China trip today, and it is great! (I've tried it before via iBook G4 and shared to BlackBerry Curve 8320, but failed.)

Assume you are on a business trip with your iBook (or MacBook) and iPhone 3G. It is too expensive to use the data roaming of iPhone 3G & you have turned it off. After a day of meetings, you are back to hotel & plug your laptop to the hotel internet via ethernet (paid or free). Then, how about your iPhone 3G? One option is login to the hotel wifi. But, not all hotel provide wifi. And you may have to pay one more connection fee. So, with your fine Mac OS X, then, your iPhone 3G can also go online and check email, browse internet etc.

為小白換大胃

這編文章也是從另一個網誌搬來。相比當日，13"的MacBook Pro換胃過程可謂太簡單不過…

這天終於把心一橫，將小白(iBook G4)的胃換了，牠終於可以鯨吞將所有檔案，放進肚子裡，但換來一個未解決的問題…

我的蘋果機外置火線硬盤裝上了 Ubuntu Linux 6.06

今天再看看，才發覺當日的日子很特別呢：在2006/06/06安裝烏班圖6.06，很巧合呢！

我的蘋果機外置火線硬盤裝上了Ubuntu Linux 6.06...



Tried:

Ubuntu 5.10 on PPC DVD -> falied

Tried:

Ubuntu 6.06 Mac (PowerPC) desktop CD, succeed to boot, failed to install...

falied in partitioning & formatting hard disk...

Ubuntu 6.06 Mac (PowerPC) alternate install CD, failed also at the partitioning & formatting hard disk...

So, seems it is something about the harddisk.

Then, format the HD in Mac to fat32 with all zero.

Starts again to install by alternate install CD -> YEAH!!

Dual boot fine!

Details will be written here, later with config.

PS: 20070707: Finally, I have removed the ubuntu in PPC mode; most troublesome is the
"mouse right click" in LINUX for iBook G4. Now, I have the ubuntu 6.10 installed in
my HP PC & also vmware under windowsXP.
