hiyas,

Can you give a "test this" and confirm if it works. As you are more than
aware, if I am to approach an up stream group then all the individual 'I
got it to work for my computer' means exactly zero. What is required is a
fix that works for all.

PPC is running out of time, you have 'fixes' but I really need details that
are generic. For that I do  really ask that you do concentrate on the
generic instructions. There is no way that thirty different ISOs will be
released. I do ask that you all concentrate on the issues for the two
graphics cards.

Regards,

Phill.

Finally got a Live USB to have good graphics and clean dialog boxes
for the install.

Here were my steps:

 zsync today's iso..

Placed the iso on the USB with dd command

sudo dd if=quantal-desktop-powerpc.iso of=/dev/sdb

Got into OpenFirmware with Power-Option-Apple-O-F all at pretty much same
time.

Addressed USB with > boot usb0/@1:2,\\yaboot

selected L  (small l)

at yaboot boot:   live video=radeonfb:1024x768-32@60

No nasty dithered graphics live or on reboot either...
