One more option that gets me to a live session where I can start network
manager and ubiquity.
At yaboot text     boot: <type> 'live video=ofonly'       no parenthesis

I got to a clean live session that way and the plymouth looks much better.


So far I have not got a clean install yet on my PowerBook G4 ...
