I've got openSuSE Factory PPC running on my PowerMac. I already installed
openSuSE PPC 11.1 before, so I already had all partions etc setup. The DVD
can be downloaded here.
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/iso/

After I used the hd install method as mentioned in the Link.

Everything is OK, except video. It's now only using fb device. I've
compiled the nouveau driver. It seems some people at Ubuntu are using it
even tough the PPC version isn't supported.


How are all other people getting along installing opensuse PPC Factory/12.1.
