	Well, I think that it is. I have used the woody PPC bootdisks
	(v. 3.0.14) to install woody in a oldworld (it's an
	9500/180MP) and it worked quite well, with an installation
	from scratch.

	I could then install everything as it is with x86. The only
	parts that were a bit more complicated were those that had
	something to do with the hardware (namely, compiling the
	kernel and configuring X).

	But I am working on these and they have nothing to do with the
	woody boot-floppies.


	[]s, Roger...
