If the latest test iso for PPC works, then we can use that to generate
any number of ppc isos. the work being applied to the installer and such
will apply to the ppc iso. It was issues with the booting and loading of
the kernel for PPC that we couldn't get to work. The installer is
working great. It may very well be that we don't have a stable 0.9.5 PPC
but perhaps we'll have a 0.9.6 PPC.
