Re: Just picked up my first Apple

 

I found it at first doing a simple Google search I think..
Here is the link with lots of other good information.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#How_do_I_boot_from_a_USB_drive.3F

So far, I have not been able to get the pre-Alpha  12.10 QQ
powerpc.iso or the amd64.iso
to complete an install.  Looks like I am getting Ubiquity and Kernel
bugs.. Maybe I will stop
for awhile.

The 12.04 pp final powerpc.iso installs just fine on my old G4.
