[K12OSN] PPC iMAC k12linux from Fedora10

[Lee Mowery]

Hi,

I have a fully updated k12llinux F10.  My thin client i386 machines are
working flawlessly.  Easy.  I followed the instructions to get PPC computers
to boot. which included editing '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX'
to add *BRIDGE=ltspbr0.

*I also followed this guide: (
https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/PPCClientHOWTO) and
downloaded"ppc-client-chroot-f10-20090109.tar.bz2."
It said to "tar xfvj /tmp/ppc-date.tar.bz2", but that didn't do anything.
So I "tar xfvj /tmp/ppc-client-chroot-f10-20090109.tar.bz2"

However, when I am on my old iMac indigo and hold down the "n" key during
boot, it just takes me to the yaboot manager with options to boot to hard
disc or cdrom.

I have tried "enet::172.31.100.254, but it says "Pleas wait, loading
kernel... *Can't read Elf e_ident/e_type/emachine info*."

I don't get the emachine info, since this is an imac indigo. Any ideas on
how I can get this to boot? Am I putting in the wrong command?  Is there a
file I need to edit?  I am really frustrated but need to get thisto work
because of budgeting. We have 10+ unused labs of iMacss that we can't
replace because of budget.

Thank you.

Note: I am windows and network savvy, but I know nothing of MACS and little
of GNU/Linux.
