=> There is a fixed ISO offering a working G3 select choice on  
http://www.metadistribution.org/gentoo/2004.0/ .
But with the ISO on most mirrors the G4 choice is to be used as 
there is a small typo with thee G3 choice.

=> Yes. I was too surprised to find out that there is no net-setup. 
Maybe this command works only for some architectures (* can the
manual be fixed accordingly ? *)

I've managed to install Gentoo on an external firewire disk 
plugged to my ibook 700Mhz 2001 late ed. The only thing 
missing is to make yaboot load my kernel. 
See :

I would appreciate in making it work - I plan to contribute 
to Gentoo if I can run it :-)
