#1 - burn the CD at the slowest speed possible. When you burn a CD on a
system with a high speed CD writer and then try to use that CD on an
older, slower CD drive, you will have file errors.

#2 - Your step 3 should have worked. Were you in GUI or text mode when
going through the installation steps (anaconda)?

I should add that I have installed Fedora 7 on an iMac G3 and Fedora 8
on a G4 so I truly believe that it should work though I have to confess
that I have my own local repositories and only use the ppc/boot.iso to
get the first stage boot and then finish booting and run the installer
and get the packages from my local repo.

Suggest that you boot the rescue cd again and at the prompt 'boot'

type 'linux askmethod'

and use...

http protocol
http server: ringtail.its.monash.edu.au
path: /pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/ppc/os/

and try installing...if this hangs, don't quit but get back to me and
tell me if you are running in GUI mode or text mode
