Today I made my first minimal iso in ppc :) but have no cd-rw to test
it. Will buy a couple tomorrow. In the meantime I'm compiling some
apps (argh! emacs port doesn't compile). I hope to have a test iso
soon.

Little update to the article. USB, sadly, works better than
FireWire. When booting from FireWire i'm not able to make a
buildworld. It exits really at *random* points with quite *random*
error codes (96, 120, 223...). Absolutely no problem switching to USB
(same box, it's a combo usb/fw external case).

Bye,
Dario
