Hi Devon,

the PPC guys on the testing mailing list[1] would most likely be better
placed to assist on PPC issues. For your Toshiba install, we do need a bit
more information. To play things completely safe with an elderly computer,
could you install the 10.04 Lubuntu [2] onto it so that we can get some
information about the computer?


Regards,

Phill.
