I've been collecting a few PowerMac G5s and iMac G5s over the
last
year, with the intent of helping improve support in Fedora.
...
I'm going to start work again on the install updates (using F22
as a
base), so hopefully F23 will be in good shape.
It is important that my Anaconda and blivit changes do not break the
existing primary arch (i686, and X86_64) setups, including on Intel
Macs (which have a whole different set of EFI magic support in the
installer than regular PCs and PPC Macs).
Aside from regular PCs, I have an early Mac Mini with Radeon 9200
graphics that I updated from core solo to C2D, and recently acquired
two C2D iMacs (1.83GHz with Intel GMA950 video, and 2.0GHz with Radeon
X1600). All have 32-bit EFI, but I may be able to install as 64-bit on
the iMacs.
I've also got PC video cards to match most chipsets found in PPC Macs.
I figured that will help check for big-endian specific issues. I hope
to get the Live CD/DVD process worked out for PPC Macs first - it will
be much faster than full installs.
