This is exactly the reason why the graphical installer is not included on CD images: there are too many cases on the powerpc platform where it does not yet work. See [1] for an overview of what we know to (not) work. > I then wanted to test RC2 from www.debian.org, but could not decide > between the daily and weekly builds.

The reason you cannot find separate images is because RC2 is not yet released. When it is and the final RC2 images have been built, we will add separate links to them. Currently available images are for testing that RC2 _is_ ready to be released. > I would like to check if everything is OK on iMac G5, which image shall > I use ? That is very welcome. The mail you responded too is correct: use any CD image linked from the D-I project page (both daily and weekly), use the link given in the mail for "other images".
