Phill,

While I have not assigned myself to the powerpc iso testing.  I do try
to help Lars when I can.  I can assure you I have a PowerBook G4
1000Mhz with 1025MB and all I do are hardware installs on it.
Generally, I have left my hardware link there on my tests of the
Powerpc desktop and alternate.
