Hi all,
I have just purchased an ex-lease, Dual 1.8 Ghz PowerPC G5 from my
employer and have never set-up Plone on a Mac before. Love Mac though :).
Most of the "easy" installers for PPC appear to want Mac Os 10.4+;
otherwise I appear to have to require an "all platforms" install
(8.5MB), which requires downloading and installing Zope et al first. For
a non-programmer or pure geek, this seems a bit cumbersome (and like
Linux of yore -- this requires that to work with that and oh don't
forget about that. Sheesh).
I don't want to upgrade to Os 10.4+; so are there other easy options for
getting Plone on my machine? I'm happy to go with an earlier Plone
release if necessary.

Also, you can try ploneout, but it may be a bit experimental still:
$ svn co http://svn.plone.org/svn/plone/ploneout/branches/2.5 plone2.4
$ cd plone2.5
$ python bootstrap.py
$ bin/buildout -v
$ parts/instance/zopectl fg
Yes, you will need the shell. This is much easier for you in the long
run than moving back to old and unsupported Plone versions, though.
