Re: mac G4 testing - missing desktop disc image

 

Hi Paul,

I'm trying to get people used to using the iso-tracker (
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/204/builds ) as it is only
when activity is seen on the variants e.g. it at least installs will the QA
team allow a release candidate to go on and become a mile stone release
(Beta 2 is the next one). If the links from iso-tracker are wrong, it is a
bug :)

Great to see the G4 one settling down a bit! Getting a G3 to install okay
is still a problem, but I think that applies to all the ubuntu-ppc iso's
and not just the lubuntu one.

Regards,

Phill.
