[NBLUG/talk] Knoppix-like distro for PPC?

Is there an entirely CD-ROM-based Linux distribution that runs on
PowerPC (particularly Macintosh) systems?  I have an older Macintosh
sitting in my garage that I might try to install Linux on, but I'd like
to be able to test Linux on it WITHOUT altering the contents of the hard
drive, so that I don't wreck the existing OS if it doesn't work.  

I'm looking into installing Debian on an old PowerMac, so there is a
chance that I'll bring it to the InstallFest (but if I do, I'll try to
be fully prepared with CD's and boot disks).
