Tried a net installation on a 32-bit PPC using the development boot.iso
of 16-jul-06. The attempt failed with anaconda dieing almost immediately
after it started.

(1) create boot CD from boot.iso
(2) boot up
(3) enter configuration information
- language,keyboard
- configure static IP
- select HTTP setup
   * website = download.fedora.redhat.com
   * directory = /pub/fedora/linux/core/development/ppc/os

Note: 
        in a previous install back in April, the directory path did
        *not* include 'os'.  I added 'os' so stage2.img could be
        located. 

(4) watch stage2.img being loaded

(5) anaconda starts up and then dies.



Thoughts???
