I totally sympathize with your situation, and admire your steadfast 
determination (in the face of huge odds) to succeed with PPC.  I doubt I 
would have continued in the face of such odds.

None of my testing was with PPC.  I did perform two installs on Mac OS X 
MacBook machines, and the systems installed there are not free of 
problems, but at least the install went okay.
