Oh yes, G5 is another matter, it's not supported at all in 2.4 ;) The
fact that there is a very minimal support in 2.4 was done to help some
distro who had 2.4-only installers at one point, and definitely not meant
to be used after the install stage.
Also, I don't intend to support the 32 bits kernel on them for long neither,
G5s should really run a 64 bits kernel even with a 32 bits userland.
