Here are step by step instructions for the non-programming types to the great SmackBook hack originally posted on: http://blog.medallia.com/2006/05/smacbook_pro.html
Step By Step Instructions for Mac Book Pro (I don't have a PPC to test, sorry)
1. Download the following UniBin files
Smack Book
(Updated UniBin)http://ritalin.simplylinux.org/SmackBook-0_1a.zip
AMSTracker
http://www.osxbook.com/software/sms/amstracker/download/AMSTracker-0.34.dmg
2. In your 'Applications' folder create a new folder called 'SmackBook'
3. Unzip the contents of both files above and copy all of the contents into the new folder 'SmackBook'.
4. Download the Desktop Manager if you don't already have it
(Tested)(Intel Only)http://ritalin.simplylinux.org/DesktopManager-0.5.3-patched.zip
(Not tested)(UniBin)http://www.arenasoftware.com/grepsoft/DesktopManagerUB-0.5.3.dmg
5. Unzip and install the Desktop Manager where ever you want, just so long as it is running.
6. Open the terminal window and type the following
cd /Applications/SmackBook <-- Hit enter
perl smack.pl <-- Hit enter
If all goes well you will get a message telling you the "AMS hardware present and initialized".
That's it! Now give it a SMACK!
