OK, time to make a status report:

1) The install seemed to go without a hitch.
2) I have 2 internal SATA drives and Fedora Core 4 Pegasos (PPC) is  
installed on #1.
3) First boot went fine in the beginning:
	a) When it was time to include extra install CDs, the system could  
not find a CD-ROM.
	b) Created user account and password.
	c) At prompt screen for loging into the system, I got a blinking  
cursor, but the mouse and keyboard were frozen.
		I had to do a hard shutdown as the keyboard was frozen.
	d) I still seem to have fan and thermal control problems.
4) Tried to boot into OS X at restart, but Fedora didn't setup  
OpenFirmware properly and I couldn't boot into OS X. I had to restart  
with the option key pressed down to call up the OF graphical  
interface for choosing which drive to boot from.

Where do I go from here? Do I give up on my FC4 install and try a  
Rawhide install or do I try to fix the issues with Fedora Core 4?

Cheers,

Brian
