No - since I only have one ppc, I didn't see the point of making a local
mirror of rawhide ppc.
I suspect the rebooting was the result of connection problems, once I
had the minimal install downloaded successfully everything has been
peachy - no spontaneous reboots.

I have experienced one hard lock up while evolution was syncing a mail
directory with imap server, I don't know what caused it - I'm not going
to reboot in case it comes back (I've seen that happen with apparent
crashes before - even when machine stops responding to ping) though I
suspect it is dead and hopefully log message has something.

It seems to have been dri in my case - I commented that out of the
xorg.conf and rebooted - and x came up just fine and gorgeous.
