Any tips on pulling this off?  Anything to watch out for?  I'm planning
on sticking another drive in my g4 powermac and dedicating it to linux. 
  I'd like to run selinux/ppc there.  Since I need to do an install from 
scratch, I can help debug & document if needed.

I've got an old SPARCstation LX (50Mhz) bootstrapped and it's currently 
working on an 'emerge system'.  I'd like to convert it into an 
selinux/sparc box.  I took a shot at a selinux-sparc-1.4 profile (not 
usable yet) and bootstrapped the system off of that, but fully 
implementing selinux looks like it will be non-trivial.  I'm willing to 
help test the 2.6 stuff once my box is ready.

The box probably won't finish it's emerge for another week or so.  [It 
was 4+ days just to bootstrap!  Gotta love old hardware. :) ]
