At the time I wrote to the list, the only available PPC ISO was an old 
daily, NOT the most current. Also, there still has never been an 
official release build of Oneiric. At this time, I see 12.04 in the 
dailies. So I'd be happy to test that but I'd like to write instructions 
for Oneiric. Any chance of getting an official release build?
