I really don't know, but according to the article I read some weeks ago
it should. See : http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/news/1999-07-26.html

Take a look at :
ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/champion-1.1/ppc/ppc/
How can we fit the zImage to a floppy? or is there other ways to do it?.
(only got a CD-ROM and a floppy)

>From the README.orig file:
Yellow Dog Linux for IBM RS/6000
--------------------------------
zImage -- The installer kernel image.
zImage.chrp -- The post-installation kernel.
System.map -- Kernel 2.2.10 System.map.

I found an install image " installer-prepr5.19990202" for the linuxPPC
distribution, it started the install program but I didn't have the
distribution to
complete it.
