PPC installer hanging on iMac

[Victor Ng]

Ok - seems like more memory it is then.  :)

I just got my hands on an extra 128MB of memory so I'll try again.  I
can't really justify the cost of buying a new 256MB chip for a machine
that costs _less_ than the RAM.

OTOH - I have Yellowdog 3.01 running on the machine right now and -
wow!  Much better.

I'll follow up with how it goes with Ubuntu and 160MB of RAM.
