Re: iMac G3 won't boot Lubuntu 12.10

 

Hi Devon,

welcome to the L-QA mailing list.

@PPC testers, the guy has had a read through the FAQ area, but he is still
new to lubuntu-ppc. As such, I invited him onto this area as you guys have
been through all the pain and I'm sure if this issue is resolved, he will
be willing to help out in the future.

Regards,

Phill.
