users been able to install? I tried and could not. Ran into problems when I change everything for rawhide and did not install.
12 G4 Powerbook
I wanted to test because of the errors we ppc users get sometimes when booting in Fedora 10 and the sound issues.

Try tomorrow with the boot.iso. Anaconda was updated today.
Check the rawhide update thread and see if kernel is >= 148.
Is G4 64-bit? The kernel has a fix for 64-bit. But more important is a new mkinitrd and bash.
I doubt an upgrade would work at this point.

Try it anyway because it is about as ready as it is going to get until BETA.

This was discussed briefly in the QA meeting this morning. Apparently it was known to be broken up until today, but should be working from today on. So give it a shot. You'll have to install Rawhide, obviously, not the alpha, that can't be fixed once it's out...
