Hi,
(i've already post this message to fedora-ppc@lists.ydl.net, but it seems this list is closed. Sorry if you received it twice ...)
I was searching google for Linux on iSeries (i work for a IBM Business partner in Belgium), and i found that in the Fedora Development branch it exists a folder containing iSeries kernel. (like here : http://ftp.belnet.be/linux/fedora/linux/core/development/ppc/ppc/iSeries/) So my question is : is it possible now to install a Fedora on an IBM iSe= ries ? If possible, how can i do this (i didn't find any doc on this) ? I've setup several Redhat/Suse on iSeries but because i like Fedora (i've also installed a lot of Fedora on xSeries - Intel Platforms) i was wondering if setting up a Fedora on iSeries was possible. Thanks for your answers (and comments)
PS : if i can help, i'd be happy to contribute in some way, for example testing the setup procedure on a iSeries.
Best regards

No problem - we're just waiting for it to be shut down. Sorry for the confusiion.

Yes rawhide generates pSeries/iSeries/mac images.

Yes it should be possible - it'll follow the same process as RHEL pretty much. First off make a mirror of the tree available at http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/fedorappc/ as rawhide is quite a moving target.
I'll try and dig out some docs for you - I've not tried on iSeries but have installed rawhide on pSeries.
Could you give a bit more detail on what box you'd be installing?
