I see progress using today's boot.iso ppc (2009-04-19 Sunday) via CD-RW. Anaconda transitions to graphics and install begins. Rawhide report claims: kernel-2.6.29.1-100.fc11 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-4.fc11 xorg-x11-server-1.6.1-6.fc11 There is a small glitch when the map for timezone selection changes from world-view to continent-view. A small rectangle becomes scrambled in the upper left corner of the active part of the display (800x600 centered in 1280x1024). The small rectangle is about 1/2-inch wide by 3/2-inches tall (which would be 48 x 144 pixels at 96dpi), and covers much of the first two letters of graphical "fedora" in the title area. Functionality seems to be unaffected.
