Sigh... Yes, it says i386 on the CD... So should I download the iso file for ppc and then burn to CD? When you boot to CD does the install start right away or will I need to hit Return? I'm thinking I should probably do a GUI rather than text install. Any idea what the name of the PPC image file is?
