Ok, that's a reason.
But curiously a former ubuntu ppc live-cd (2008 or so) had it on the
cd. Anyway, if it's not possible to put it on the cd, there should be
something like an instruction how to get and install it. May be
indicating different options like:
- internet connection sharing connecting 2 computers by ethernet (or
bluetooth? Does  that work too? ;-) )
- using a smartphone
- loading down the needed files as installable packages on an exchange
media (usb stick or so)
