** Originally posted to openSUSE factory list **
Finally got images for PPC with matching MD5 sums, and now I'm confused
about booting. As suggested in various places,
openSUSE-11.1-Beta5-NET-ppc.iso won't boot on my G3 iMac. Nor will
openSUSE-11.1-Beta5.1-NET-ppc.iso - this was more of a surprise.
I checked the hardware with the 11.0 version, that boots fine but
install dies with the expected message about a locked storage subsystem.

I now understand that these aren't relevant to iMac

And Andreas Jaeger advises that there is no way to do this :-(
