Hmm, if we assumed that it is just a matter of doing the above, would
someone just make xconfig a monolithic ppc kernel and then compile a
source boot thingy (using very technical terms here) specified for a
ppc?   Do I need to install a linux on one of our Macs to do this? 
(It's okay, I'd make the sacrifice, really!)  But then all the of
packages would have to be ppc versions and I'm assuming that if a livecd
won't boot on a Mac it wouldn't have ppc packages, right?

Enquiring minds want to know.
