Just finished installing RC1 on G3 iMac from 1997 - looks pretty good.

Speed and RAM?

First stage of installation says it will reboot now, but doesn't - X window
goes black except for a cursor, other ttys continue as before and top shows
99% idle. Forcing a reboot results in fsck check on restart (i.e.
something wasn't umounted). Anyone else have this before I raise a bug?

Don't have that problem on my Wallstreet. It reboots fine and then
finishes the installation after reboot.

Once system is up, GUI login screen is impossible to navigate with keyboard
alone (i.e. no mouse) - can't even readily select a console login. Is this
intentional - looks like a bug to me.

Don't have the problem either. Everything works just fine. Only
irritating thing I have seen is that I still have the kernel panic on
the MESH controller that only seems to affect that machine. It's
usually fine after it reboots. Had that since v10.0

Only other thing I noticed was the ever-changing DHCP addresses noted
elsewhere - happens on PPC / iMac too!

Haven't noticed that on SuSE. Have seen it on Fedora 8 though. Ended
up just assigning an IP for that box. Maybe it's a kernel problem.
