PPC pre-install question

Dear Archlinux-community!

I'm very excited by the prospect of Archlinux continuing support for the PPC architecture, offcourse it can only work if we as users install and test thoroughly, and report our findings back.

I plan to put Archlinux on a PowerMac G4(Sawtooth), and have been reading about the procedure. One thing puzzles me though.

On the page http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _Linux_PPC

The direct link given to the isos works, and doesnt ask for a password.

However, a little further down, it says:

"When you get to the step where it asks you for the mirror address, enter:"

"ftp://www.archlinuxppc.org/"

This link, asks for a password, possibly because its the ftp used to upload data for the webserver(www. in front).

Should i indeed enter this or should i enter "ftp://archlinuxppc.org"? Will the installer also ask me for a directory, and if so, what should i enter?

As soon as i feel confident i have all the correct information, i will proceed to begin the install, but not before! Learned this lesson a long time ago smile

Thanks!
