No.  I saw nothing that indicated support for oldworld Macs -- "if 
you can persuade them to boot they probably ought to work" shows they 
haven't been tried and that I would have a hard time in any case, and 
on PenguinPPC.org, I found a table [2] saying only newworld for Fedora.

I did start downloading the F12Beta PPC torrent, but it was slow (few 
seeds, few peers), and I found the lack of support before it got far.  
The F11 PPC torrent is fast (but still no peers or sharing).

Now back to my question.  Have /you/ installed a recent Fedora on an 
oldworld PCI Mac?  Or do you know of anyone who has?
