Why the interested? I saw an ISO for PowerPC, so I downloaded it, burned it and booted it. And it did boot. I just chickened out at that point. I don't know if I can boot from USB. I can from FireWire, but that might be OS X only... At any rate, I will have to buy another HD soon. I can't stand the 4,200 RPM drive any more, I need a faster and bigger drive. We'll see... But I will post back if I actually do it. I just hope the FC5 boots into Gnome or KDE unlike it does on my Dell PowerEdge 1400SC. Still can't figure out how to start KDE. Don't know what I did... But that's part of the experiment ;) Matt Beals Consultant Enfocus Certified Trainer, Markzware Recognized Trainer (206) 618-2537 - cell (720) 367-3869 - fax mailto:matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Come visit me at: http://www.mattbeals.com http://www.actionlistexchange.net http://www.mattbeals.com/blog/ Friends don't let friends write HTML emails > From: Tod Merley <todbot88@xxxxxxxxx> > Reply-To: "For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx>" > <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> > Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2006 00:33:21 -0700 > To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: FC5 and Mac OS X > > On 7/10/06, Matt Beals <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> I'd like to install FC5 on my Apple PowerBook G4.
