or the stage3-g4 tarball ? Any body know the difference ? |

if your cpu is G4 you'd better install stage3-G4 cause the difference is that the G4 stage has been compiled with G4 optimization
stage3-ppc means general powerpc machine ... so everything from ppc603/4 to G5 |

| This is the tarball you should be using - stage3-x86-2007.0.tar.bz2 |

No! Read before posting! This is PowerPC hardware, so x86 stages won't work! |
