The only options I noticed were the yaboot(??) options. Then it went right into the graphical installer (or maybe I walked away both times and missed it).These are arguments to the yaboot images, you are saying linux (the image - tab to list) and text as an argument - that gets passed to the kernel and anaconda via /proc/cmdline.
Well I guess so. Normally, on a x86 installs, there's a screen that allows you to select various install modes (text, expert, rescue) and pass arguments to the installer's kernel. When I did the PPC install, I didn't see that screen and instead, the installer went straight into a graphical install. I did this twice. Did I just miss it both times?
The graphical install worked well enough for me (other than typical problems others are reporting that can be fixed post install).
