Hi all.
I`m just tested the boot.iso of the fedora ppc rawhide and my
congratulations, its the first time one distro just boots and run the
installation software but the process stopped in the dhcp network
configuration. Whats about imac g5 support in fedora core 4/rawhide ?

Wow, I dont know what happened, but after second try, the dhcp step
was fine. Only one question. Whats the status of iMac G5 support of
Fedora right now?

Possibly local network issues.
AFAIK FC4 should be fine but I don't have an iMac G5. You might be best
off waiting till FC4 release on Monday as there were some bugs fixed
post test3 relating to ppc.

If I could get some info about hardware support (sound, power
management, frequency scaling,..) I´ll be happy and install Fedora 4
ASAP.

Sound should work, without a hitch
Power management - hmm, apmud is available from extras. What kind of
power management are you looking for in the iMac? For it to go to sleep
after periods of inactivity?
Frequency scaling. Well, that comes as a direct benefit of apmud. That
aside, I didn't test this. If it doesn't work, it can probably get
fixed...
/me doesn't have a copy of the source tree on disk atm.. Gah

Thats the point :)

Good. I´ll try to install FC4 ASAP. One more question, the "noisy"
installation could damage the hardware? I mean, the cpu refrigeration
working at maximum power...

Not that I know of, no. Though it should probably work, I do make no
guarantees. I merely wanted to get installer/general workability testing
done (and get awkward looks from folk at an apple conference)

Yes, I have the Netgear (hardware router/dhcp - cheapie) from hell. It
breaks well

It should run fine... I popped one on a couple of days back here. This
was a snapshot of the 0606 tree (iirc)
