Powerpc client on x64 server

[Carl Olof Englund]

Hi!

An old iMac appeared and practically begged me to add it as a client to our 
wonderful Edubuntu network.

The question is how. ltsp-build-client on the server doesn't seem to want to 
create a powerpc boot enviroment for the iMac. Shouldn't it be possible for 
gcc to compile powerpc-stuff on any architecture?

What is the best way to do it? I thought of installing Edubuntu server on the 
iMac and exporting the client directory from there..but since the iMac has 
only 160MiB of RAM and the installation requires 320MiB (really?) I'm not 
sure if that would work. What more is - how can the client image be kept 
updated on the server, the same as the i386 and x86 client dirs?

Isn't there a sane way to do this?
