We're working on it. Don't let it autopartition -- make sure you make a bootstrap partition of 800K (or 1M if the installer doesn't let you specify 800K). Then when it's finished installing but before you let it reboot, follow the instructions at http://www.bytebot.net/geekdocs/ibook/fedorappc.html to install yaboot.

Yes. http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/fedorappc/ has a known good working tree from which you can run up2date. I think http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/ppc/ doesn't have a mac boot.iso right now for some reason. Once the installer is finished it'd be nice to make a real FC2 release for Mac. -- dwmw2
