Re: PPC

 

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.
I didn't understand if you tested the last PPC ISO from daily build or not ? If it's working, it can be considered as an unofficial ISO.
Also, it's possible to make it official for 12.04, but we need people available to test Alpha and Beta ISO, during ISO testing process.

Regards,
Julien Lavergne
