Description of problem: New PCs don't have eject buttons on their CD ROM drives. Mac Minis for one thing, but its likely the trend will be copied. It'd be nice if the installer had an eject CD dialog. Otherwise users have to Ctrl-Alt-F2 and run eject themselves, or do a network install. Justification: This'd help get Fedora PPC up to the same state as its other platform counterparts, but would be nice for other users of other architectures too.
The CD should already be getting ejected when we go to switch CDs... is that not happening?

It's switching from boot.iso to cd1, as opposed to cd1 to cd2 I believe. I'll do an install on the iMac after lunch (pre rpm 4.4)
We should also make CD1 on PPC bootable. We should do that once we've sorted out the details of how you make a single bootable CD which handles all four of {Mac,CHRP} {32-bit,64-bit}.
We should now always be ejecting in this case ore cd installs.
For those having issues with eject who can't do a network install of Fedora Core 4 Test 1. Here is a 32 bit image that will boot your mac off a usb key It's a hd image with mac partition table, a hfs apple_bootstrap and an ext2 partition with the kernel/initrd. Created on an x86 linux box with parted, hfsutils, and offset loopback mount for the ext2 parts. http://people.redhat.com/pnasrat/ppcboot.img 0074caa1772d12ee969decb9c222614b47cb7d67 ppcboot.img dd if=ppcboot.img of=/dev/sda bs=1k where sda is your usb storage device pop the usb key into your mac. Power up holding the option key (alt) down and you should get the graphical chooser. Choose the disk with the USB logo below it and the small tux log. Click on the -> arrow and it should take you there.
