I just ran dban on my Apple Power PC. I'm trying to install the OS, but when I get to the 'Select a Destination' screen, the hard drive doesn't show up. Can anyone help me?

I don't know much about Apple products, but you may need to format the drive. There may be some bootable versions of Linux that can format the drive to Apple's file system. But take my advice with a grain of salt, as I said, I don't know for sure.

1. Start the computer with the Mac OS X installation DVD.
2. Choose a language.
3. Click "Utilities" in the top menu.
4. Click "Disk Utility".
5. Click the disk in the left pane.
6. Click the Partition tab.
7. Choose "1 Partition" in the "Volume Scheme" pulldown menu.
8. Click the "Options" button.
9. Choose "Apple Partition Map" and click OK.
10. Click the "Apply" button.
11. Click Disk Utility -> Quit.
The Mac OS X installer will then recognize the disk.
