Re: iMac G3 won't boot Lubuntu 12.10

 

Bad timing, my friend :)

It *may* be there somewhere, but he has had a read and is stuck. If you pop
onto the lubuntu group on facebook [1] you will see the discussion that
resulted in my asking him to ask on here :) When it comes to people 'stuck'
with lubuntu on PPC, this is the best (only) area to ask on.

Regards,

Phill.
