Indeed - I believe Dan knows YDL v. well, and has been supplying patches
to anaconda, etc for ppc compatibility. As lots of development will go
on in rawhide, more people running ppc rawhide will benefit both Fedora
and YDL, so everyone should be happy.  Rawhide seems more active than
ruffpack.

I'm sure a lot of FC 1 will go into YDL, and I wouldn't want to
duplicate work - in fact installing/bootstrapping was extremely easy
thanks to the work of Terrasoft and the fact that rawhide has been
building for ppc.  Once I got up2date installed I've happily got gnome
working (I manually configured XF86Config from other sources).
