Hi, Thanks for the info!!
Can I update from fedora18 to fedora 27¿? I did only one upgrade from one distro release
to another, no jumping 18 to 27? How did you do it ? And what kind of boot loader uses ,
because im doing dd of iso image in a pen drive, but I do not know how to boot in
OpenFirmware, It worked me in other distros with yaboot and ofwboot or other binaries, but
not with Fedora.
Also, I want Xorg running to use as desktop to replace my old intel arch.
I will test your recommendation!!
Regards

and booted ok with yaboot, also tested openbsd and freebsd with openfirwmare boot. I saw
this link
https://github.com/masterzorag/G5_ppc64-linux but I can not replicate it or I
did not understand why so many steps and why iso will not work for him.

have less packages than others...
I have two PowerMac G5 running Fedora 27, but the only way to install it
is to install Fedora 18 and upgrade until Fedora 27. If I remember
correctly installer after F18 are broken. The problem with "nouveau"
driver should be fixed since kernel 4.3 with:
25d295882a1a drm/nouveau/bios: fix OF loading
I have a small VGA LCD plugged on my Pmacs and I use this kernel cmdline
parameter:
video=DVI-I-1:640x480@60
But I never starts desktop session, only a console.
Thanks,
