Hello ,
some day ago i tried to install Stretch PPC using Installer-Alpha 4 -
but it always finished off when tryxing to install Software Packages.
Why is that so?
Do i need to use always the latest installers (in this case Alpha-5 i
guess)?
Jessie installed fine , though.
I bought also a Radeon x800 xt as replacement for NVidia 5200 FX , so i
am wondering how this will change my Linux experience on G5 Powermac to
the better.
Thanks
Rich

In this context, reading back through the threads I see that Peter has rolled
some 4.* kernels. Any suggestions as to which one I try first and any
particular messages in the thread I should pay attention to?
If your G5 is a "PowerMac11,2" like mine, then Peter's "4.4.0-rc7-powerpc64" kernel works
well for me with the "VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 LE] (rev
a2)" graphics card.
Thanks Rick
That is the machine exactly :-)
Are you running sid or jessie?
Stretch.
In the sources.list, I have jessie, jessie/updates, jessie-updates,
jessie-backports, and stretch repositories; all with main, non-free, and
contrib activated.
HTH!
