Comments/Problems:

 This was my first install on a powerpc for some releases.  

 I used expert mode.

 The install went relatively smoothly.

 I was mildly surprised to see no option to install an sshd and complete
the installation over the network, a feature of lenny's installer I have
come to use a lot.

 I've listed Clock/timezone setup as E -- it didn't ask me if the clock
was in local time or UTC, despite being in expert mode. 

 After the reboot the system came up fine but then X failed with the
display corrupt.  Fortunately I had installed sshd so was able to log in
remotely and discover the following in dmesg:

[   48.335971] platform r128_cce.0: firmware: requesting r128/r128_cce.bin
[   48.429909] r128_cce: Failed to load firmware "r128/r128_cce.bin"
[   48.429938] [drm:r128_do_init_cce] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware!
[   48.430016] [drm:r128_cce_stop] *ERROR* called with no initialization

 This driver is in the firmware-linux-nonfree package which I had not been
prompted about or warned about during the install.

 Once I had installed that driver and rebooted all was well.

 I'm not planning on using the system for anything serious in the next
few months, so if you want I can probably test a later version of the
install media.

 J.
