Little bits and pieces all over. I have it running in that
constantly-alpha state which would still need a good deal of polish. I
think the BootScripts can be used mostly unchanged (but I haven't
worked on this in particular yet). The main thing would be figuring
out how to make an OpenFirmware-friendly bootable CD.

Yes, the motivation for a PPC desktop distro is greatly diminished
(even though this still interests me personally as my personal machine
is a G4). But PPC is still interesting as an embedded platform.
