Re : Tumbleweed ppc64 big endian.

Hi Christian,

thanks for your reply, that's encouraging for us... and especially thanks for keeping an history of installation iso!

I am trying to install using the latest iso (Snapshot 20171219)... it's not working.
I have many errors.

I continue my tests, and try to post the list of errors.

One difference from what I had done two weeks ago, I had installed LXDE, and now I'm installing gnome first...

I'll post my findings. 
I'm not sure I'll be able to do this before Christmas, so merry Christmas for all.
Fadi.
