There isn't a lot of specific documentation on the Titanium and
Mandrake.
These two searches through the archives of the mailing list might be
helpful:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-cooker-ppc&w=2&r=1&s=titanium&q=b
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-cooker-ppc&w=2&r=1&s=powerbook&q=b
There are a few other sites giving information on this and most of them
are relating to either Linux/PPC or Yellow Dog. Many of the problems
they help work around have been resolved in Mandrake.
Specifically, the only major problem you are likely to run into with a
Titanium is getting the display to work at 1152x768. I provided the
proper XF86Config file to the list previously and you will find it in
the above searches.
As far as DVD. Unfortunately DVD support on Linux as a whole is
lacking. Without a legal version of the decryption version Mandrake
can't ship a DVD player that would functionally play most DVD movies
that are sold in a store. In the past I have attempted to make DVD
work on X86 without much luck. I've never attempted on my Titanium.
Though I would imagine any instructions that explained how to do it
on Mandrake would be applicable to PPC so long as you recompiled
everything that was X86.
