  === PPC Installation Notes ===
  
+ Fedora Core Installation Disc 1 is bootable on supported hardware. In addition, a bootable CD image appears in the `images/` directory of this disc. These images will behave differently according to your system hardware:
+ 
+  * Apple Macintosh
+ 
+  The bootloader should automatically boot the appropriate 32-bit or 64-bit installer. 
+ 
+  The default `gnome-power-manager` package includes power management support, including sleep and backlight level management.  Users with more complex requirements can use the `apmud` package in Fedora Extras.  Following installation, you can install `apmud` with the following command:
+   {{{su -c 'yum install apmud'
+ }}}
+ 
+  * 64-bit IBM pSeries (POWER4/POWER5), current iSeries models
+ 
+  After using Open''''''Firmware to boot the CD, the bootloader (yaboot) should automatically boot the 64-bit installer. 
+ 
+  * IBM "Legacy" iSeries (POWER4)
+ 
+  So-called "Legacy" iSeries models, which do not use Open''''''Firmware, require the use of the boot image located in the 'images/iSeries' directory of the installation tree.
+ 
+  * 32-bit CHRP (IBM RS/6000 and others)
+ 
+  After using Open''''''Firmware to boot the CD, select the {{{linux32}}} boot image at the `boot:` prompt to start the 32-bit installer. Otherwise, the 64-bit installer starts, which does not work.
+ 
+  * Genesi Pegasos II
+ 
+  At the time of writing, firmware with full support for ISO9660 file systems is not yet released for the Pegasos. However, you can use the network boot image. At the Open''''''Firmware prompt, enter the command:
+   {{{boot cd: /images/netboot/ppc32.img 
+ }}}
+ 
+  You must also configure Open''''''Firmware on the Pegasos manually to make the installed Fedora Core system bootable. To do this, set the {{{boot-device}}} and {{{boot-file}}} environment variables appropriately. 
+ 
+  * Network booting
+ 
+  You can find combined images containing the installer kernel and ramdisk in the `images/netboot/` directory of the installation tree. These are intended for network booting with TFTP, but can be used in many ways. 
+ 
+  {{{yaboot}}} supports TFTP booting for IBM pSeries and Apple Macintosh.  The Fedora Project encourages the use of {{{yaboot}}} over the `netboot` images.
