I know there is a PPC version of the Gentoo Live Boot distro. I would give you a link but I don't have one...

Also doesn't Yellowdog have to be installed on the computer? Matt is looking for something that is a live boot distro.

i looked for a live-boot linux cd that would work on power pc or any mac a few weeks ago,a nd i couldn't find anything... as far as i know, yellow dog is really the only linux for mac, and it doesn't have a bootable, sorry.

Alien there are quite a few linux distros that work on macs. Also as I said before Gentoo has a live boot version that works on PPC.
