Gah. Looking further, at the moment I don't see how (if at all) the
powerpc boot stuff passes through any of the kernel boot options to
specify a default task. Rick, what happens if you try with kde CD#1
right now? Does it actually do KDE, or does it still default to Gnome?
I'm glad you're thinking of things here, it's been a while since we've
had many people interested in ppc stuff like this! :-)
