Anybody tried installing squeeze on a PowerPC Mac recently?

[Rick Thomas <rbthomas55@pobox.com>]

Installing squeeze on a G4 PowerMac from the "sid d-i" daily  
"Businesscard" CD.

All seemed nominal during the install.  But after the reboot,
the login screen did not appear.  I was left sitting at a text
console.  In fact, it appears that gdm and nearly all of the
gnome-desktop-environment task is missing. (And yes, I did check
"desktop" during the tasksel phase of the installation!)

When I logged in and typed "startx" I was left with a black
screen.

For what it's worth, an i386 install at about the same time went  
flawlessly.

This is repeatable.  I've tried it with two different dailys.  And  
with Businesscard and Netinst CDs.

Anybody else seen anything like it?  Anybody know what's going on?



Thanks!

Rick
