Hi Greg!

Now i understand better your intervention in the forum ;)

Once, i tried exactly your way for a bootable usb - but it didn't work
for my powerbook. May be it's a wrong one: PB G4 17" alluminium (still
with 6-pin firewire connector). I'm using the firewire chain for
alternative configurations (pushing the option-key at built-in
power-up sound shows all the bootable options - without any need to
configure ybin; as for me, i've mintppc11 on the internal hd and
lubuntu 12.04 on one external and mac os x on another external - daisy
chained to the firewire).

May be it's here the correct place, at least to ask: *WHERE* should be
asked questions about misfunctions of lubuntu 12.04 ppc? I tried
several ways but did not get nearly any feedback ... :-(

Cheers.
