Hello!
i sucked the ppc-devel-tree to my hd, set up a NFS server for the downloaded files and burned boot.iso from the dir "mac". The boot cd booted but it found no network device.
all i know i took from the HOWTO at http://www.bytebot.net/geekdocs/ibook/fedorappc.html I couldn't by all efforts find more about this topic in the net...
If i burn the FC3 PPC development tree on an DVD, boot with a CD and select "CD-ROM" as Installation method, anaconda tells me that it didn't find a FC CD that fits to my boot CD. That's allready a bit more than i got with my first try (DVD without ".disc-info", without "SRPMS" and named other than "FC-3 ppc"). There it said that it didn'T find a FC CD. my second DVD should be OK, the only dir that didn't fit onto the dvd was "debug" but i read in the howto, that i don't need it. so what's wrong?
I also tried to get help at another maillist:

I've seen anaconda happily load the sungem driver, then fail to notice that there's now an eth0 and demand that you specify a network driver to load. Helpfully it notices that sungem is already loaded though, so it removes that from the list of options :)
That's what happens to me if i try to install on the PowerMacG3 (350MHz), but with the bmac driver. alt Alt+F4 it says: <7> divert: allocating divert_blk for eth0 <6> eth0: BMAC+ at 00:05:02:61:a3:51 so i guess anaconda could load the driver. but it doesn't go further then. It just keeps me asking to select a driver...
Does anybody have experience with this topic and could give me a hint? Or can anybody tell me what to do or where it's documented how i can install FC-3 on Macs? I have a PowerMac G3 (350MHz) and it's really important that i install fedora there...
Thanks in advance
caio, nico.
