This is exactly what needs to be updated and on the PPC FAQ. Explaining everything doesn't matter as much as making everything bootable and usable regardless of what sort of hardware someone may have. So we need to get stuff up on the wiki and it needs to be tested and confirmed on every machine we have.

The main PPC FAQ is a wonderful resource and full of great information, but it is pretty overwhelming. We need to sort of dumb things down, if you will, and get straight to the point.
