PowerPC support

[W. Michael Petullo]

Is there any plans to add a PowerPC build of Fedora?

I am a long time fan and user of Red Hat's Linux distribution.  However,
recently I was forced to move away from Red Hat when I replaced my computer
with an Apple iBook.

I am very interested in contributing to the new Fedora project and am hoping
that this project will bring Red Hat to my iBook.  I would like to help get
Fedora working on PowerPC-based architectures.  Perhaps the folks at Terra
Soft Solutions would be interested as well?

Are there any like-minded folks out there?

This has been brought up on irc, IIRC the main missing component is the
kernel, everything else gets built on ppc.  I believe Elliot (Sopwith)
Lee is running Fedora/severn on an ibook by using the yellowdog kernel.

All support in anaconda/grubby should be there I believe, but I haven't
had time to look further.

But yes I'm intrested.

We've contributed support before this whole name change. I don't see
things really changing in this regard.  Much of the Anaconda support and
code in other complimentary pieces came from us.
