Comments/Problems:
The main problem I found was the bootloader partitioning and install, the bootloader
would not install no matter what.
I installed the system anyway and used a rescue disc( actually the SUSE PPC installer)
to boot hda7 partition and then configured the system fine.
In fact the new installer is a big improvement, once the bootloader issue is resolved,
this will be great on the PPC.
The system is very stable, Synaptic is a joy to use, all in all a great job, I will be
keeping this system to keep it up to date, when the PPC bootloader is fixed I will do
a reinstall.
Thanks for a great Distro
Best

Sorry it took us so long to get back to you. The bootloader issues on
Macs that existed around March/April were fixed a couple of months ago.
If you're still in a position to do so, please test a current daily
build and let us know how you get on.
Cheers,
