Good morning!
I've started throwing my PowerPC builds of Haiku onto my website, if anyone
having Apple PowerPC hardware laying around wants to test them please give
them a whirl and submit feedback on the PPC code! (My G4 is currently
unavailable for testing due to hardware issues unrelated to Haiku :( )
Please note that these are not *official* Haiku builds and are only meant
for developer / tinkerer use.

The tar archive consists of the following:
haiku_ppc-r31495/
haiku_ppc-r31495/haiku.image < Haiku gcc4 disk image for PPC
haiku_ppc-r31495/haiku-boot-cd-ppc.iso < bootable haiku iso
haiku_ppc-r31495/haiku.cue < cue to burn cd image as well as
haiku.image to a cd.
I've yet to be successful combining all of these onto a working self
contained cd although I have gotten the ppc code to boot in the past as
follows:
1) burn haiku-boot-cd-ppc.iso to a cd.
2) dd haiku.image to a usb stick.
3) plug the usb stick into your PowerPC machine and boot the cd.
4) the Haiku boot loader should see the usb stick as a bootable usb drive.
Thanks!
