Please need help with Linux Pro 9.2 install and everything

I just got a Mac mini which came with Mac OS X 10.3.7 already installed, well at the same time I bought Suse Linux Professional 9.2. Now I am trying to install it but I can't get it to boot at the start up even when I press C and all other key shortcuts. I can't get Yast to install nor can I get any type of boot loader. I have read the installation book but it is way over my head. Could someone please let me know what to do? Thanks.

Suse doesn't run on a mac, you need a distro that runs on your ppc architecture, such as Ubuntu, Mandriva or Fedora.

I would look into Yellow Dog Linux too. I haven't used it in forever, but I know it runs on the Power PC architecture. I haven't even seen a Mac Mini yet, but I am thinking Yellow Dog works on that too.
