There are some essential web pages to print out before installing on PowerMac.

Install Guide FAQ
OpenSUSE PPC Resources
Booting on PowerMac
PPC Partitioning
PPC Installation Issues
Most Annoying Bugs
Power@SUSE

Considering that we are being told not to partition or let YaST partition and format, Instead,
Install start_shell and then use pdisk to delete, Create and setup the partitons needed.

Later, reboot from CD#1 and you have to manually use the command line to set up yaboot and lilo?

I was left literally 'in the dark' with monitor blackened, the power button flashing green (out of resolution should be impossible on this LCD) on reboot and immediately after the "start_shell" command.

I miss being able to drop something into the terminal rather than have to be in shell command line, like booting OS X into > console mode.

And even then, it seems getting ATI driver updates might be for more experienced user.

Anyone use 0.64 of (k)Ubunktu?
