Re: PPC

 

My iBook G4 originally had 512MB RAM and handled lubuntu install all fine. Now it has 1GB. I think the argument for keeping GUI install would be for new comers who might be a bit hesitant to go for the alternate. But, if you have to you have to.

I prefer the Alternate installs, too.

Alternate is, practically, like the debian installer, right? If so, in
my opinion, at least there should be assured that the installer
recognizes the broadcom chip (and comes with the needed firmware to be
able to work).

IME, it was a pain in the a** to organize a 2nd computer and to
configure it properly to work as a gateway. At least for me, as a user
[1]. And i'd think manxy others would be in my identical sitiuation
(and finally horrified by the problem; especially when you think they
are Mac users . . .).

[1] Ok, it was especially hard since i only had a netbook running
lubuntu with wicd . . . ;) (i do this because the default
network-manager does not cooperate well with bluetooth - in my setup).
