For what its worth, my G5 just arrived from TerraSoft with the latest
pre-release. Have you grabbed a new iso recently? I think mine was from
last Monday or the Friday before that. At any rate, the guys at
TerraSoft got it installed just fine. The only problem is I can't get X
working at 1024x768...

My G5 config is a 2 GHz DP with a Radeon 9800 as well.
