Folks:

OK, with today's daily 10/3 powerpc I was able to get passed the Yaboot
boot screen, in both my iMac 800 and my iBook, so that's the good news.  In
the iMac I just used the live video=ofonly??? the semi default boot
parameter and eventually got to a black screen . . . I would need to be
reminded on what the boot parameters for the iMac are . . . .

However, on the iBook, which I might actually try the install on, I used
"live-nosplash-powerpc video=radeonfb: 1024x768-32@60" . . . .  And that
got me to a clean resolution GUI desktop!!!  But, when I tried to set the
time so that I could use Gmail to post this report . . . the screen "froze"
on the drop down menu of time zones.  I rebooted and tried again, this time
I tried to just adjust the time without doing the timezone and . . . it
didn't "synchronize" . . . .  Then, just for humor I wanted to check the
"window dragging" capacity, which is not good in 14.04 on this same
computer . . . and, the cursor turned into the 'clenched hand" . . . the
window moved a few spaces, then stopped . . . I released the mouse button .
. . and the clenched fist stayed clenched . . . nothing else responded . .
. system frozen . . . shut it down and rebooted back into OSX.

So, it looks "closer" but, still no cigar in terms of stability such that
QA testing could be done . . . couldn't take the time to try an install,
etc.
