Re: lubuntu powerpc desktop 20120928 SUCCESS

 

This seems working for me as well with the only slight customization
in the video related yaboot option to my screen 1400x900 -32@59,9. I
only booted and didn' t install right now. Will try tomorrow (after
cleaning a hd).

Just a question regard what Phill said: Do i understand right that
means, if you, coding ppc people, do not find a solution without any
need of bricolage there will be no release for 12.10 ppc? And, in that
case ppc will come to the end with 12.04 LTS?
