Greetings.  I thank the team for this very large amount of good work.

I've tried various installations with the resources mentioned on the 
pages referenced with mixed success.  When I've checked the bugzilla, I 
do not find any of the problems that I've encountered reported.

Is it fruitful to report difficulties with the iso's at the temporary 
location?  I've started with testing on Mac G5's and did not succeed 
(font problems, followed by a Python crash.)

I have succeeded in upgrading a Fedora 12 small installation with the 
mash rpms, using the standard Fedora yum upgrade, but I needed to 
install the 64 bit kernel before it would boot.

How can I help this valuable effort go forward?
