The latest development version of openSUSE, version 10.1 Alpha3 for PPC is available for download. At the moment I can't recommend it to anyone (except for my enemies ;-) ), as it seems to be a complett disaster:
- no networking (except by hand) due to some major changes to network configuration (Kinternet -> NetworkManager)
- no X (brand new X.org fails to start).
I guess, I don't have to list the rest...
Bye,
CzP

Ps: for the above reason, I don't provide a download URL...

I have just filed about 10 bug reports, after using it for less than one hour... I guess, you should forget it, unless you want to make some heavy bug reporting :twisted:

To get X working, change in /etc/X11/xorg.conf the line from:
BusID "PCI:1@1:8:0"
to:
BusID "PCI:1@0:8:0"

See bugzilla entry at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=134592

I only know one workaround for networking: use a static IP, like this:

rcnetwork stop
rcnetworkmanager stop
killall dhcpcd
ifconfig eth0 192.168.4.234
route add default gw 192.168.4.1 dev eth0

Of course you need to substitute here IP-s for your own network.
This stops all networking related software on SuSE, and then configures IP and default gw manually.
