Hey everyone!

That's right, PPC! Our first stable PPC ISO release in a very long time.
The PPC installer now has all the nice features that the x86 installer
has. Things get installed as you're working. So don't put this in a box
you don't intend to put Source Mage on. There's been quite a few things
fixed on this one.

Enjoy bringing guidance to your systems and regain the control lost to
you by other distributions.

Main new features:
- a "dependency" scheme that will make sure you don't accidentally skip
a vital step or do things in the wrong order - you can still override
dependencies if you really know what you're doing :)
- Spells get installed in the background while you are busy selecting
options
- software RAID support via mdadm

List of bugs that have been fixed:
4785 Presentation of post installation instructions before initial
reboot
7652 cache and spool files are not installed
